Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was carried out using a Simultaneous TGA/differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analyzer (TGA/DSC 3+, Mettler Toledo, Greifensee, Switzerland) with temperature scanning from ambient to 800 °C at a heating ramp of 10 °C/min. Besides this, TDT for all samples was defined as the temperature where 50% of weight loss was viewed. Also, the thermal stability of samples was evaluated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC, TGA/DSC 3+, Mettler Toledo, Switzerland) while flowing N2 over a range of 25–800 °C and with a heating rate of 10 °C/min. In addition, the thermal conductivity was evaluated by using Thermal Constants Analyzer (TPS-500s, Hot Disk AB Co., Gothenburg, Sweden) at room temperature under 20 mW within 10 s.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
