thermogravimetric analysis (TGA)

Last updated May 18, 2025, generated by Sumble

What is thermogravimetric analysis (TGA)?

Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) is a technique that measures the change in weight of a substance as a function of temperature or time under a controlled atmosphere. It's commonly used to determine the thermal stability and composition of materials by observing weight loss or gain due to decomposition, oxidation, or dehydration.

thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) Complementary Technologies

Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC)

DSC measures heat flow, often used in conjunction with TGA to provide a more complete thermal analysis. DSC provides information about endothermic and exothermic processes that are not detectable by mass change alone in TGA.

Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR)

FTIR identifies evolved gases from TGA, helping to determine the chemical composition of the decomposition products. This is often coupled with TGA for evolved gas analysis (EGA).
