Live Webinar: Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA)
How to Measure Changes in Mass as a Function of Temperature or Time
活動概述
- Basic principles of TGA and TGA/DSC
- Features of a TGA instrument
- Different measurement parameters: heating ramps, atmosphere, pressure
- Practical example applications
- Interactive Q&A with our experts
TGA is a thermal analysis technique that measures the change in mass of a material as it is heated, cooled, or held at a constant temperature. This provides valuable insights into thermal stability, composition, and decomposition processes, making TGA an important tool for characterizing materials across a wide range of industries.
TGA/DSC combines two different thermal analysis techniques to provide complementary information about a material. As the TGA measures changes in mass, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) simultaneously measures the heat flow.
During this webinar, we demonstrate how combining both these techniques in one instrument provides a more complete picture of a sample's thermal properties, revealing thermal effects that are not seen by measuring mass alone.
Key Takeaways from the Webinar
This webinar demonstrates how using TGA, and particularly TGA/DSC, provides a comprehensive understanding of material behavior, with practical applications and useful examples from industry.
We will conclude with a live Q&A session so don’t forget to prepare your questions for our experts!
