Thermal Analysis of Inorganics
Insights and Applications for Understanding these Fascinating Materials
Thermal analysis is widely used in raw materials testing as well as quality control in many production processes. The Thermal Analysis of Inorganics Handbook from METTLER TOLEDO’s Angela Hammer is an essential resource for understanding inorganic materials and exploring innovative thermal analysis techniques and applications.
This comprehensive handbook provides an extensive overview of thermal analysis of inorganic materials and presents many practical examples using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), thermomechanical analysis (TMA), and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). It also describes combined techniques offered by METTLER TOLEDO, including TGA coupled with evolved gas analysis.
What You Will Find in this Book
The handbook is divided into two parts:
Part 1 provides an overview of the most important thermal analysis techniques for characterizing inorganic materials. Examples demonstrate the properties and thermal effects that can be investigated with each technique. These investigations provide a foundation for the more industry-specific applications described in Part 2.
Part 2 presents practical examples organized by material class. These applications demonstrate the different properties that can be investigated throughout the product lifecycle of an inorganic material. They also offer inspiration for developing new ideas in this complex butexciting field.
Who is This Handbook For?
Designed for beginners and experienced analysts alike, this handbook is a valuable resource for academics, scientists, and laboratory technicians involved in research, quality control, and central testing laboratories. It aims to deepen understanding and inspire innovative ideas in this complex yet fascinating field.
