DSC/TGA Insights

What is DSC/TGA?

DSC/TGA refers to the combined use of Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA). DSC measures the heat flow associated with transitions in a material as a function of temperature or time, providing information about melting points, glass transitions, crystallization, and other thermal events. TGA measures the change in weight of a sample as a function of temperature or time, indicating decomposition, oxidation, or loss of volatile components. When used together, DSC/TGA provides a comprehensive understanding of the thermal behavior and composition of materials, making it valuable in polymer science, materials characterization, pharmaceutical analysis, and food science, among other fields. The combined data allows for separation of overlapping thermal events and determination of compositional analysis during thermal transitions.

DSC/TGA Complementary Technologies

FTIR

FTIR (Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy) identifies the chemical bonds and functional groups in a material. It complements DSC/TGA by providing information about the chemical composition and changes that occur during thermal events, which can help interpret DSC/TGA results.

GC

GC (Gas Chromatography) separates and identifies volatile components of a sample. When coupled with DSC/TGA (e.g., TGA-GC-MS), it can identify gases evolved during thermal decomposition, offering complementary information about the decomposition process and the composition of evolved gases.
