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.
DetailsThis note illustrates the advantages of working with a thermogravimetric instrument in an inert environment by way of a simple example with a water sensitive material.
DetailsIn 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.
DetailsRheology is an indispensable tool to characterize structural molecular changes induced due to processing conditions and processing time.
DetailsThis note investigates the degradation kinetics of virgin and recycled polyethylene terephthalate fibers used for 3D printing through TGA, finding similar lifetime predictions for the samples studied.
DetailsIn this work, the thermal degradation process of nylon 66 was studied using TGA-MS, TGA-FTIR and TGA-GC/MS in inert gas environments. These techniques together can provide a lot of insights of the thermal degradation process and its off-gas products.
DetailsIn this note, the thermal properties of nylon gears with increasing mass fractions of recycled material are evaluated.
DetailsThe purpose of this study is to characterize three phase change materials (PCMs) – one paraffin wax and two beeswaxes. PCMs are widely used for thermal energy storage and thermal management due to their high latent heat storage ability.
DetailsTwo commercially available electrolytes are evaluated in this work to understand transitions at low temperatures which may impact battery performance.
DetailsThermogravimetric 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.
DetailsThe purpose for this note is to detail the basic thermal analysis and mechanical techniques used to characterize a typical separator made from PP.
DetailsDifferential scanning calorimetry (DSC) provides a rapid method for determining polymer crystallinity based on the heat required to melt the polymer.
