With differential thermal analysis

Fig. 7.10. The solid state reactivity of shock-modified zirconia with lead oxide as studied with differential thermal analysis (DTA) shows both a reduction in onset temperature and apparent increase in reaction rate. The shock-modified material has a behavior much like the much higher specific surface powder shown in B (after Hankey et al. [82H01]).

Stability studies of TC have been done with differential thermal analysis (DTA) (31,... 

One of the earliest diffraction studies was that of Wilkes et al. (1973) on neonatal-rat stratum comeum carried out using WAXD combined with differential thermal analysis. They also investigated the dependence of the diffraction pattern on the orientation of the sample. With the x-ray beam normal and perpendicular to the surface of the SC, two strong reflections, corresponding to repeat distances of 4.2 and 3.7 A, were observed that were assigned to crystalline lipids. In addition, two halos were observed, at 9.8 and 4.6 A, that were attributed to protein. Because they could not find a 5.15-A reflection that is often seen in a-keratin from hard tissues (Fraser and MacRae, 1973), they... 

Some of the optical characteristics of alite polymorphs and their correlative changes with differential thermal analysis (DTA) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis have been the subjects of reports by Maki and Kato (1982) and Chromy and Carin (1980/81).

DSC has been used in conjunction with differential thermal analysis to investigate the kinetics of the oxidation of isotactic polypropylene (iPP) [3]. 

Of the various physical techniques that can be used for mineral identification, thermal methods such as weight-loss curves, differential thermal analysis, and differential thermo-gravimetric analysis are the most useful. However, as these methods are only appUcable to minerals that undergo some reaction involving a change in weight, or the evolution or absorption of heat, their use for heavy minerals is limited. A punched card system with differential thermal analysis data for minerals (Mackenzie [1962]) contains information on a number of heavy minerals. 

In general, therefore, examination of a soil clay by X-ray diffraction and thermal methods should enable a qualitative and semiquantitative mineralogical analysis to be made more rapidly and with greater precision than by either of these methods alone. Recent evidence has been shown that evolved gas techniques, when combined with differential thermal analysis or... 

Differential thermal analysis curves of iUite show three endothermic peaks in the ranges 100—150, 500—650, and at about 900°C, and an exothermic peak at about 940°C, or immediately following the highest endothermic peak. Minerals formed from iUite at high temperature vary somewhat with the... 

The hydrated alumina minerals usually occur in ooUtic stmctures (small spherical to eUipsoidal bodies the size of BB shot, about 2 mm in diameter) and also in larger and smaller stmctures. They impart harshness and resist fusion or fuse with difficulty in sodium carbonate, and may be suspected if the raw clay analyzes at more than 40% AI2O2. Optical properties are radically different from those of common clay minerals, and x-ray diffraction patterns and differential thermal analysis curves are distinctive. 

In given work the possibilities enumerated above of varieties of thermal analysis used to reseai ch of solid solutions of hydrated diphosphates with diverse composition. So, for example, the results of differential-thermal analysis Zn Co j P O -SH O showed, that it steady in the time of heating on air to 333 K. A further rise of temperature in interval 333 - 725 K is accompanied with the masses loss, which takes place in two basic stages, registered on crooked TG by two clear degrees, attendant to removal 4,0 and 1,0 mole H O. On crooked DTA these stages dehydration registers by two endothermic effects. In interval 603 - 725 K on crooked DTA is observed an exothermal effect.

Thermogravimetric analysis has also been used in conjunction with other techniques, such as differential thermal analysis (DTA), gas chromatography, and mass spectrometry, for the study and characterisation of complex materials such as clays, soils and polymers.35... 

Dynamic differential thermal analysis is used to measure the phase transitions of the polymer. IR is used to determine the degree of unsaturation in the polymer. Monitoring of the purity and raw is done commercially using gas phase chromatography for fractionization and R1 with UV absorption at 260 nanometers for polystyrene identification and measurement Polystyrene is one of the most widely used plastics because of fabrication ease and the wide spectrum of properties possible. Industries using styrene-based plastics are packaging, appliance, construction, automotive, radio and television, furniture, toy, houseware and baggage. Styrene is also used by the military as a binder in expls and rocket propints... 

Thermal Decomposition. Differential thermal analysis shows phase transitions at 295° and 370° (see above) and a sharp decompn exotherm at 485—500° (Ref 20). G.F. Smith claims that it is unchanged after heating to 400° for long periods of time (Ref 5). Workers in the USSR further investigated the thermal decompn and found that decompn took place betw 320 and 465° with formn of Ba oxide, Ba chloride, and evolution of O. No Cl was evolved below 520— 50°(Ref 14)... 

R.L. Bohon, AnalChem 35 (12), 1845-52 (1963) CA 60,1527 (1964) Approx heats of expin, Qv were detd on mg amounts of propints and expls by differential thermal analysis (DTA). Small-screw-cap metal cupsi sealed with a Cu washer served as constant vol sample containers the initial cup pressure could be controlled from 0 to approximately lOOOpsia. The calibration constant was calcd for each run from the total heat capacity of the cup and the relaxation curve, thereby compensating for equipment variations.
