THERMAL GRAVIMETRIC

Analysis. Excellent reviews of phosphate analysis are available (28). SoHds characterization methods such as x-ray powder diffraction (xrd) and thermal gravimetric analysis (tga) are used for the identification of individual crystalline phosphates, either alone or in mixtures. These techniques, along with elemental analysis and phosphate species deterrnination, are used to identify unknown phosphates and their mixtures. Particle size analysis, surface area, microscopy, and other standard soHds characterizations are useful in relating soHds properties to performance. SoHd-state nmr is used with increasing frequency. 

Another step in laboratory automation to be achieved is the conversion of standard chemical procedures such as titrations or thermal gravimetric analysis, into unit laboratory operations. A procedure could then be selected from these laboratory operations by an expert system and translated by the system to produce a set of iastmctions for a robot. The robot should be able to obey specific iastmctions, such as taking a specified sample aliquot and titrating it using a specified reagent. 

Thermal Properties. Spider dragline silk was thermally stable to about 230°C based on thermal gravimetric analysis (tga) (33). Two thermal transitions were observed by dynamic mechanical analysis (dma), one at —75° C, presumed to represent localized mobiUty in the noncrystalline regions of the silk fiber, and the other at 210°C, indicative of a partial melt or a glass transition. Data from thermal studies on B. mori silkworm cocoon silk indicate a glass-transition temperature, T, of 175°C and stability to around 250°C (37). The T for wild silkworm cocoon silks were slightly higher, from 160 to 210°C. 

The heavy metal salts, ia contrast to the alkah metal salts, have lower melting points and are more soluble ia organic solvents, eg, methylene chloride, chloroform, tetrahydrofiiran, and benzene. They are slightly soluble ia water, alcohol, ahphatic hydrocarbons, and ethyl ether (18). Their thermal decompositions have been extensively studied by dta and tga (thermal gravimetric analysis) methods. They decompose to the metal sulfides and gaseous products, which are primarily carbonyl sulfide and carbon disulfide ia varying ratios. In some cases, the dialkyl xanthate forms. Solvent extraction studies of a large number of elements as their xanthate salts have been reported (19). 

Determination of the thermal decomposition temperature by thermal gravimetric analysis (tga) defines the upper limits of processing. The tga for cellulose triacetate is shown in Figure 11. Comparing the melt temperature (289°C) from the dsc in Figure 10 to the onset of decomposition in Figure 11 defines the processing temperature window at which the material can successfully be melt extmded or blended. 

The chemical name for such materials is poly(bisbenzimid-azobenzophenan-throlines) but they are better known as BBB materials. Such polymers have a Tg in excess of 450°C and show only a low weight loss after aging in air for several hundred hours at 370°C. Measurements using thermal gravimetric analysis indicate a good stability to over 600°C. The main interest in these materials is in the field of heat-resistant films and fibres. 

ADMET polymers are easily characterized using common analysis techniques, including nuclear magnetic resonance ( H and 13C NMR), infrared (IR) spectra, elemental analysis, gel permeation chromatography (GPC), vapor pressure osmometry (VPO), membrane osmometry (MO), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The preparation of poly(l-octenylene) (10) via the metathesis of 1,9-decadiene (9) is an excellent model polymerization to study ADMET, since the monomer is readily available and the polymer is well known.21 The NMR characterization data (Fig. 8.9) for the hydrogenated versions of poly(l-octenylene) illustrate the clean and selective nature of ADMET. 

The white crystals change to yellow powder upon grinding, presumably with loss of THF and possibly some AuCN formation. Thermal gravimetric analysis of [Au2(2,6-Me2Ph-form)2] 2Hg(CN)2 2THF showed the release of THF gradually at >120 °C followed by decomposition at >200 °C. The powder diffraction pattern of the yellow residue after heating above 265 °C showed a pattern typical of AuCN (IR 2236 cm ) as confirmed by comparison with the powder diffraction pattern of a sample of AuCN obtained from the Aldrich Chemical Co. 

In addition to these standardised test methods set by regulation (in particular the transport regulations of dangerous substances), there are laboratory methods that can provide more details regarding substance behaviour. In particular, there is differential thermal analysis (DTA), thermal gravimetric analysis, calorimetry and thermomanometry, which will not be described here. 

Thermal Analysis - Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) were used to characterize the thermal properties of the polymers synthesized.

Thermal gravimetric analysis shows that the increase in phosphorus content results in char yield increases which are correlatable with the self-extinguishment time decreases. This led to the conclusion of phosphorus "rich" barrier shielding the surfaces as a mechanism of the flammability decrease. 

The characterization of graphene often involves several techniques in conjunction in order to build up a complete picture of the material. The techniques typically include electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photo-emission spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and thermal-gravimetric analysis (TGA).
