Thermal Decomposition Analysis of Crosslinked Materials

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Coupled thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) were conducted under nitrogen atmosphere to identify potential changes in decomposition modes that might occur due to crosslinking. TGA measurements were conducted at a heating rate of 20 K/min between 50 and 800 °C and 70 mL nitrogen flow. The onset temperature is defined as 99% residual mass. All tests were conducted three times, and averaged curves are presented. Sample weights were kept constant at 10 ± 1 mg. TGA and DSC analysis were conducted using a simultaneous scanning analysis device, STA F3 449 Jupiter, from Netzsch (Selb, Germany). FTIR gas analysis was performed simultaneously to TGA measuring using direct coupling through a 230 °C temperature-controlled transfer line. The FTIR unit was a Tensor 2 from Bruker Corp. (Billerica, MA, USA). FTIR gas-cell temperatures were controlled at 200 °C; 32 scans were averaged. The gas transfer refers to a 30 s measurement delay between the TGA and FTIR results, which corresponds to 10 °C (20 K/min).
Additionally, TGA measurements were used to calculate decomposition activation energies using the methods described by Vyazovkin [27 (link)] and Ozawa [28 (link)]. The heating rates used were 2.5, 5 and 10 K/min, under nitrogen atmosphere.

Protein nanostructure and fuel were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) in a Bruker Tensor 2 with a Platinum ATR accessory (256 scans with 4 cm−1 resolution). Fuel content in protein motors was measured by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) in a Netzsch STA 449 F3 Jupiter coupled to a Bruker Alpha FTIR spectrometer at 10 °C min−1 under 90 mL min−1 argon flow. The mechanical properties of protein films as function of temperature were measured by oscillatory rheology in a TA Discovery HR-2 rheometer.

Coupled TGA-FTIR Analysis of Thermal Decomposition

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Coupled thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) were conducted in a nitrogen atmosphere. A TGA STA F3 449 Jupiter from Netzsch (Selb, Germany) equipped with a high-speed furnace was used for the study. A steady heating rate of 20 K/min was used between 50 °C and 800 °C at a N2 flow rate of 70 mL/min. Due to high end temperatures, the sample carrier (TG-DSC) was equipped with aluminum oxide tilts. Sample weights were kept constant at 10 ± 1 mg (20 K/min). The onset temperature was defined as 99% residual mass. All tests were conducted three times, and averaged curves are presented. The FTIR unit Tensor 2 from Bruker Corp. (Billerica, Massachusetts, USA) was coupled by a 230 °C controlled transfer line. FTIR gas-cell temperatures were controlled at 200 °C; 32 scans were averaged. A 30 s measurement delay occurred between TGA and FTIR results, which corresponds to 10 °C.

The EVA/BCZT/Pt thin film is firstly transferred to a 20 nm thick Pt coated PDMS membrane with 200 μm. The EVA is removed by a small amount of toluene. A 2 mm diameter, 20 nm thick gold film is sputtered onto another 20 μm thick PDMS membrane to increase the signal strength and the gold deposited side is attached to the BCZT film for encapsulation. This device is clamped and fixed by two 3cm×4cm , 1 mm thick PCBs, with the upper and lower electrodes each directly touching the board conductor and integrated into a BNC connector. The resonant frequency is characterized by the ENA Network Analyzer (E5061B, Keysight).
Before starting the experiment, the PDMS surface needs to be grafted with carboxyl groups. Firstly, PDMS is immersed in benzophenone (10 wt% in water, TCI, > 99%) for 4 h, dried for 5 h thick with UV light for 5 min and soaked with ethanol. After drying, the surface is dripped with 50% aqueous acrylic solution and irradiated with UV light for 5 min. After drying, the surface is dripped with 50% aqueous acrylic solution and irradiated with UV light for 5 min, and the surface is cleaned with deionized water. The grafted results are characterized by FTIR (Tensor 2, Bruker). The antibodies with fluorescent labeling (SARS-CoV-2 Spike RBD HL1002) are purchased from GeneTax. The samples are imaged with a fluorescence microscope (Nikon, Eclipse Ci-L, Japan).

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.
