TGA measures weight changes as a function of temperature and time and provides information about composition analysis and thermal stability. A complete picture of the amount, rates, and composition of volatiles and decomposition products can be ascertained by combining these results with chromatography and/or spectroscopy techniques. Modulated TGA and high resolution capabilities provide enhanced separation of component thermal decomposition profiles and associated kinetics.
Common uses of TGA include:
• Rates of evaporation
• Thermal decomposition
• Thermal stability
