Tga dsc instrument

Manufactured by Mettler Toledo

The TGA–DSC instrument is an analytical tool used to measure the thermal properties of materials. It combines Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) functionalities in a single instrument. The TGA component measures the change in the mass of a sample as a function of temperature or time, while the DSC component measures the heat flow to or from the sample relative to a reference.

Characterization of Synthesized Materials

The synthesized materials were analyzed by X-ray diffraction using a Phillips PW1800 instrument system in θ–2θ geometry working in Bragg–Brentano mode using Cu Kα radiation (λ = 1.541 Å). An AntonPaar1200 cell equipped with a capillary stage was used for the in situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) heating experiments. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images were recorded using an XL30-SEM instrument operated at 10 kV. The samples were sprinkled over carbon tape, attached to Al stubs and then coated with a 30 nm layer of carbon to prevent charging. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were performed using a Mettler TGA–DSC instrument with a heating rate of 5°C min−1 and a temperature limit of 550°C. One-dimensional 13C-NMR was measured using a Brukner 400 MHz instrument in D2O, and for the solid-state 13C CP-MAS NMR, the spectra were acquired at 9.4 T using a spinning speed of nR = 10.0 kHz and a CP contact time of 5.0 ms. For the 27Al and 29Si MAS NMR spectra, a Bruker Avance II HD 400 MHz spectrometer was used. 27Al MAS NMR spectra were recorded at spinning rate of 20 kHz on a Bruker 3.2 mm probe, using a flip angle of π/12 and a recycle delay of 1 s. 29Si MAS NMR spectra were recorded at a spinning rate of 5 kHz on a Bruker 4 mm probe using a flip angle of 60° and a recycle delay of 60 s.

Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC, NETZSCH STA 449C) measurements were used to characterize the change in the thermal properties of the polymers at a heating rate of 10 °C/min. The thermal stability of the polyimide films was performed by thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) under N2 environment on a Mettler-Toledo TGA/DSC instrument at a heating rate of 10 °C/min.

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.
