Thermogravimetric analyzer TGA

A DuPont 910 differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and a DuPont 951 thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) connected to a DuPont 1090 thermal analyzer 3ftre used to study the transition data, thermal stability, and char yield, respectively, for all the polymers. The DSC was run under a nitrogen stream at a flow rate of 80 c.c./min. and at a heating rate of 20°C/min.. 

A differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), Dupont Instrument, Model DSC2910, was used to determine the glass transition temperatures. Thermo-gravimetric analyses were carried on a thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA), TA Instruments, Model Hi-Res TGA 2950.

A thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) monitors weight loss by a small sample as a function of temperature, usually because of sample decomposition or because of alterations in the sample composition. This technique is mentioned here just because it is often combined with the techniques mentioned next. 

This section discusses the thermal degradation studies conducted using a thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA). In general, the thermal stability of filled composites is better than pure polymers due to the presence of fillers, which act as stabilizing agents (73). In particular, the addition of CNTs present superior thermal stability for composites compared with neat polymers (90-92). 

A Perkin-Elmer thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) was used to determine the hydrogen desorption kinetics at atmospheric pressure. This instruntent was located in another glove box under nitrogen atmosphere to prevent any exposure of the samples to air and moisture. Samples were heated to 2S0°C at a ramping rate of S°C/min under 1 atm of He, using an initial 1 minute delay to ensure an environment of pure He. Approximately 10 mg of sample were used in the TGA. 

Details can be found in Bdlare (ref. 3). The experimental equipment consists of a cumene reservoir, a thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) and a gas chromatograph (GC). The hdium-cumene mixture enters the TGA, a Cahn System 113DC with a Cahn 2000 Recording Electrobalance, a quartz tubular reactor, and an external split-shell furnace. The catalyst is placed in the sample pan of the microbalance inside the quartz reactor, kept at a controlled temperature in the center of the split-shell furnace. The incremental weight due to coke deposition on the catalyst is monitored by an IBM PC. The reactor exit stream is injected into a Varian 3700 GC using FID. 

An Instron tensile machine can be used to measure stress and strain in the automotive lab. However, incoming inspection at a supplier is generally where this type of analysis takes place. More often, an automotive chemist at an OEM will be required to analyze a sample for failure analysis of that particular part. A thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) will measure the change in mass of an elastomer in an inert (nitrogen) atmosphere as the temperature is waived. These instruments are very precise and will give information such as degradation temperature, filler content solvent residue, and absorbed moisture content. 

Temperature programmed reduction (TPR), temperature programmed Ar heating (TPAr) and extent of reduction experiments were all performed in a Perkin Elmer thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) Model TGA 7 described elsewhere [22]. H2 chemisorption measurements were eonducted using a flow chemisorption method and apparatus described by Jones and Bartholomew [24]. Activity measurements and high-pressure steam treatments were conducted in a fixed-bed microreactor described elsewhere [22]. A Micromeritics Gemini 2360 surface analyzer was used to measure N2 adsorption at liquid N2 temperature for BET surface area measurements. A Micromeritics Tri-Star 3000 analyzer with N2 adsorption was used to obtain the pore size distribution. 

In this contribution, we report the synthesis of CexZryHfz02-s materials via coprecipitation method. Ce, Zr, and Hf metal precursors were dissolved in demineralized water and aqueous ammonium hydroxide was added until the precipitation was complete. The solids obtained after precipitate filtration were then dried, crushed and subsequently calcined in air. The physicochemical properties of the derived materials were characterized using various analytical methods. Redox reactivity and suitability of the derived CexZryHfz02-5 materials towards solar thermoehemical H2O and/or CO2 splitting cycles was also examined by performing multiple thermoehemical cycle using a thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA)... 

Thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA). TGA measures weight changes in a sample as the temperature is varied, providing a useful means to determine degradative processes and heat resistance in polymeric compounds. 

The thermal stability of nanobiocomposites was analyzed up to 500°C with a heating rate of 10°C/min under the atmosphere with flow rate of 100 ml/min. Changes in weight percentage and the decomposition temperatures of the samples were recorded with a thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA Q 500, TA Instruments). Approximately 10 mg of each sample were loaded for each measurement. 

Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) or Thermogravimetry (TG) is defined as followed by ICTAC A technique in which the mass of the sample is recorded versus time or temperature while the temperature of the sample is programmed, in a controlled atmosphere. The instrument is called a thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) or a thermobalance. [17].
