TGA

Description

Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) measures changes in a material’s weight as it is heated, cooled, or held at a constant temperature. This technique provides information about thermal stability, decomposition temperatures, oxidation behavior, and compositional content of materials.

Why It Matters:
TGA is essential for determining how materials behave under heat, which is critical for polymers, composites, and nanomaterials. It helps predict material lifespan, identify thermal degradation mechanisms, and optimize processing conditions.

Applications:

• Thermal stability studies of polymers, composites, and coatings.

• Determination of moisture, solvent, or filler content.

• Analysis of decomposition temperatures and kinetics.

• Quality control in manufacturing and material development.
