TGA Thermogravimetric Analyzer

Thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) is a type of thermal analysis technique used to study materials.Thermal stability and compositional changesThe important thermal analysis technique, its principle is toControlled atmosphere and temperature conditionsBelow, the sample is subjected to programmed heating or isothermal heating, while simultaneously measuring the change in sample weight with respect to temperature or time.

 

When the sample occurs during the heating processevaporation, thermal decomposition, redox reaction, dehydration or pyrolysisWhen the phenomenon occurs, the sample weight will change. By using a precise microbalance to record the weight change in real time, it is possible to obtainThermogravimetric curve (TG curve)and further analyze the mass change behavior of materials at different temperature stages. By relating these weight changes to temperature, the properties of the materials can be determined.pyrolysis temperature, composition ratio, volatile matter content, residue, and thermal stabilityOther important material properties, in addition, TGA can also be measured in different atmospheres (such as nitrogen, air, or oxygen) to study the thermal reaction behavior of materials under different environmental conditions.

Technical Features
Can be combined with other thermal analysis techniques.
TGA is often used in conjunction with DSC, TMA, or mass spectrometry analysis, allowing for the simultaneous acquisition of information on weight changes, phase transitions, and gas release, providing a more comprehensive analysis of the thermal properties of materials.
Applicable to various material systems
Thermal characteristic analysis applicable to polymer materials, inorganic materials, nanomaterials, composite materials, and various chemical materials.
Can control different atmospheric conditions
TGA can be analyzed in inert gases (such as nitrogen) or oxidative atmospheres (such as air, oxygen) to study the thermal decomposition, oxidation, or combustion behavior of materials in different environments.
Can perform program heating and isothermal analysis
The instrument can set different heating rates or isothermal conditions to observe the weight changes of materials within a specific temperature range, providing complete information on thermal reactions and thermal stability.
High sensitivity weight change measurement
TGA measures the extremely small weight changes of samples during the heating process through a high-precision microbalance, allowing for precise analysis of the decomposition or volatilization behavior of materials at different temperature stages.
Analysis Application
Research on Oxidation and Decomposition Reactions
Through different atmospheric conditions, the oxidation, combustion, or thermal cracking reactions of materials can be observed.
Polymer and Composite Material Analysis
Commonly used for studying the thermal decomposition and compositional structure of polymers, plastics, and composite materials.
Analysis of Volatile Components and Moisture Content
Can analyze the content of solvents, moisture, or other volatile substances in samples.
Sample composition ratio analysis
Through the weight loss ratio, the proportions of different components in the sample can be estimated, such as the content of fillers or additives.
