Overview Thermogravimetric Analysis, or TGA, is a powerful analytical tool for measuring changes in a sample’s mass as its environmental temperature shifts. When coupled with other instrumental techniques such as mass spectrometers and infrared spectrometers, chemical analysis of the evolved gases is achieved. These hyphenated techniques have a long history in thermal analysis.…
DetailsIn 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.
DetailsIn this Tech Tip, we will demonstrate how to view raw data for ElectroForce DMA results.
DetailsOverview In this Tech Tip, we will show you how to set up the Auto-Trim Accessory for the Discovery Hybrid Rheometer.
DetailsOverview Inhomogeneous, thick, or pliable sample? No problem – our laser flash instruments are able to measure the thermal diffusivity of nearly any material over a wide range of temperatures with non-destructive testing. In this tech tip, we review how to set up a conductivity experiment on the Discovery Xenon or Laser Flash instrument. Laser…
DetailsOverview TA Instruments – Waters Corporation’s state-of-the-art LED Photocalorimeter Accessory (LED-PCA) allows for the comprehensive study and characterization of photocurable materials across a broad temperature spectrum.
DetailsIn this Tech Tip, we will overview the TRIOS Kinetics Software Package, available as an add-on to our standard TRIOS software from TA Instruments.
DetailsLyophilization, also called freeze-drying, is the process of removing water from a sample, often for preservation. Lyophilization involves the sublimation of a sample’s water content, usually through a rapid freezing process. Freezing materials quickly helps avoid the destruction of the cell walls in the sample from the formation of large ice crystals.
DetailsFrom lightweight laptops to cross-country EV driving, countless applications require increasing lithium-ion batteries’ energy density and performance. Since battery electrodes directly contribute to these aspects of battery function, electrodes and their components are of particular interest to battery researchers seeking to advance technology to the next level. Battery slurry processing is also a key step of manufacturing, offering significant opportunities to increase efficiency while reducing cost.
Details3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is being embraced as a versatile manufacturing technique across diverse industries. 3D printing allows for rapid prototyping and print-on-demand solutions to avoid the potential waste associated with batch runs.
