Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), which provides information about the thermal stability and decomposition rate of materials, is an excellent technique for rapidly comparing the behavior of materials tested with different flame retardants.
In this paper, the humidity influence to the thermal mechanical properties of gelatin capsule was studied systematically using TA Instruments’ Dynamic Mechanical Analyzer with the humidity control unit. The coefficient of hygroscopic expansion (CHE) of the gelatin capsule was also studied at two individual temperatures.
In this paper, the thermo-mechanical response of a polyurethane based shape-memory polymer material was analyzed using a TA Instruments DMA. Two cyclic test procedures were developed for quantitative measurement of the thermal-mechanical properties.
Saving time in polymer research has many benefits and can be realized in different ways, from reducing operator training time to increasing research throughput and achieving accurate and reproducible results. Here are 3 opportunities across 3 techniques (rheology, TGA, and DSC) which offer solutions to save time in your polymer research.

The impact of moisture content on cohesion strength is measured using the TA Instruments Powder Rheology Accessory. It was found that as moisture content increases, cohesion strength also increases, demonstrating the importance of controlling humidity during processing.
Here we describe the application of an ARES Rheometer (TA Instruments) with a rectangular torsion fixture, to investigate the β-relaxation change of poly (ethyl methacrylate)/ graphene oxide. It is observed that graphene increases both the glass transition and the β-relaxation temperature, but the β-relaxation to a lesser extent.
Overview In this Tech Tip, we will show you how to set up the Auto-Trim Accessory for the Discovery Hybrid Rheometer.
In this note, TGA will be performed on natural and synthetic graphite of various particle sizes. The analysis will provide information that would find value in quality control settings, such as batch consistency and impurities.
