RAMAN/VT
To improve polymer deformation mechanisms understanding, it is necessary to be able to monitor and measure in real time specimen microstructure during mechanical stress. Indeed, during deformation, material undergoes microstructural modifications.
There is therefore a major interest in determining the importance of microstructure and its evolution on material macroscopic behavior. For these purposes, and always with the idea of modeling the behavior of material as accurately as possible, it was then envisaged to develop a device coupling both VideoTraction® videometric measurement and a Raman spectroscopic measurement (allowing visualization in real time of the microstructure of materials: texture, crystalline phases, crystallinity, volume damage, internal stresses, etc.) during deformation.
