Dynamic Mechanical Analysis Characterization of Glovebox Gloves
- Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL), Aiken, SC (United States)
As part of the characterization of various glovebox glove material from four vendors, the permeability of gas through each type as a function of temperature was determined and a discontinuity in the permeability with temperature was revealed. A series of tests to determine the viscoelastic properties of the glove materials as a function of temperature using Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) was initiated. The glass transition temperature and the elastic and viscoelastic properties as a function of temperature up to maximum use temperature were determined for each glove material. The glass transition temperatures of the gloves were ‐60°C for butyl, ‐30°C for polyurethane, ‐16°C Hypalon®, ‐ 16°C for Viton®, and ‐24°C for polyurethane‐Hypalon®. The glass transition was too complex for the butyl‐Hypalon® and butyl‐Viton® composite gloves to be characterized by a single glass transition temperature. All of the glass transition temperatures exceed the vendor projected use temperatures.
