'''Polymer testing/Polymer diagnostic and Polymer diagnostic/Damage analysis but also Plastics testing and plastics diagnostics'''

Polymer diagnostics refers to a modern field of knowledge that is often used in the literature as ‘[[Polymer Testing|polymer testing]]/polymer diagnostics’ or ‘plastic diagnostics/damage analysis’ from the point of view of an epistemological deepening. There is a close connection with ‘material diagnostics/[[Materials Testing|material testing]]’, which is an independent scientific discipline concerned with clarifying the properties of special [[Material & Werkstoff|materials]] and the causes of possible failure (see also: [[Fracture Mechanics|fracture mechanics]]).

In the sense of medical diagnostics, material diagnostics is the science of recognising material damage (imperfections; discontinuities) and micromechanical deformation and fracture mechanisms. Polymer diagnostics involves the interaction of physical examination methods to clarify the material composition (analytics), [[Polymers & Structure | molecular structure]], [[Microscopic Structure | morphology]], mechanical, thermal, electrical and optical properties, manufacturing and processing conditions as well as the technological properties and reactions of the material with the environment.

Particular progress in terms of gaining knowledge has been made in the further development of [[Hybrid Methods | hybrid methods]] of plastics diagnostics, which refers to the coupling of two or more different, mostly non-destructive, test procedures and test methods for modern polymer testing.

[[Electronic Instrumentation | Electronic instrumentation]] of conventional test methods is often used to gain information for comparison with conventional methods, whereby more detailed statements can be derived from the [[Material Value | characteristic values]] on the one hand and clearer references to coupled non-destructive test methods can be established using regulated test algorithms on the other.

Examples of this include:

* [[Instrumented Hardness Testing – Method & Material Parameters | Instrumented hardness testing ‒ Method & material parameters]]
* [[Instrumented Charpy Impact Test | Instrumented Charpy impact test (ICIT)]]
* [[Instrumented Tensile Impact Test (ITIT) | Instrumented tensile impact test (ITIT)]]
* [[Instrumented Puncture Impact Test|Instrumented puncture impact test]]

which have also been confirmed by numerous in-house scientific publications (see: [[Electronic Instrumentation | electronic instrumentation]]).

In addition to increasing the information content of conventional testing methods, the aim of hybrid methods is to provide a generalisable clarification of the relationships between the [[Polymers & Structure|microstructure]] and the properties, a quantitative evaluation of structure–property correlations and the establishment of physically based functionalities.

Another internationally important trend is the increased endeavour to integrate online testing methods for materials and polymer diagnostics into the respective production processes in order to optimally ensure the quality requirements of the product and the manufacturing process. In this context, one speaks of a product-related adaptation of material testing methods for [[Plastics | plastics]] resulting from the complex structure of modern materials.

The Chair of Materials Diagnostics/Materials Testing (Head: Prof. Dr rer. nat. habil. Wolfgang Grellmann) made numerous methodological and material-related contributions to the further development of polymer diagnostics between 1995 and 2014. The inclusion of experimental methods of [[Fracture Mechanics | fracture mechanics]] and non-destructive material testing was a particular methodological focus. Particular methodological research focuses on the in-situ coupling of mechanical and [[Fracture Mechanical Testing | fracture mechanics experiments]] with non-destructive methods, such as

*Coupling of the [[Tensile Test | tensile test]] under static loading with the [[Laser Extensometry | laser extensometry]] method

*Coupling acoustic emission and thermography with the tensile test on a statically loaded [[Compact Tension (CT) Specimen | CT-specimen]] or [[Multipurpose Test Specimen | multipurpose test specimen]]

*Coupling of the bending test with the damage-sensitive acoustic emission analysis

*Coupling of the [[Instrumented Charpy Impact Test | instrumented Charpy impact test (ICIT)]] with the acoustic emission analysis (SEA)

*In-situ tensile test in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)

The aim of the in-situ coupling of different test methods is always to increase the informative value of classic test methods and to derive possibilities for quantifying [[Micro-Damage Limit|damage states]] or damage limit values and new types of polymer-specific [[Material Parameter | parameters]], such as the technical term “[[Heterogeneity|heterogeneity]]”, which has been introduced into the scientific literature.
