TGA Analysis for Thermal Stability Assessment

Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (TGA) is an essential analytical technique that measures weight changes in a material as a function of temperature or time. It is particularly valuable for understanding the thermal stability and composition of materials, providing insights into:

• Decomposition temperatures
• Moisture content
• Volatile and non-volatile components
• Thermal stability
• Oxidative stability

TGA Process Overview

• Sample Preparation: Precise weighing of the sample and placement in a TGA crucible.
• Temperature Program: Application of a controlled temperature program, including heating, isothermal holds, and cooling.
• Weight Change Monitoring: Continuous measurement of weight changes as the sample is subjected to the temperature program.
• Data Analysis: Extraction of key information such as onset temperatures, weight loss percentages, and derivative weight loss curves.

Applications of TGA in Material Characterization

• Thermal Stability Assessment: Evaluating the temperature range of material stability for processing and application purposes.
• Composition Analysis: Quantifying various components in a material, such as fillers, additives, or moisture content.
• Decomposition Analysis: Determining decomposition stages and associated weight losses for material safety and quality.
• Lifetime Prediction: Estimating the material’s lifespan under different environmental conditions.
