Example 11
Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was conducted using a TA Instruments TGA Q500 or Q5000 at a heating rate 10° C./min. The instrument was calibrated using a standard weight for the balance, and Alumel and Nickel standards for the furnace (Curie point measurements). Thermal events such as weight-loss are calculated using the Universal Analysis 2000 software, version 4.1D, Build 4.1.0.16.
