The thermo-degradation characteristic of the PBT/PLO and PBT/PCO blends was conducted using a TA Q500 thermal analyzer from TA-Instruments, USA. Approximately 5–8 mg of each samples were placed in a platinum pan and heated under nitrogen atmosphere with a 50 mL/min flow rate. The samples were heated from 30 to 700 °C with a heating rate of 10 °C/min. Both the TGA and the derivatives of the TGA curves (DTG) were obtained and extracted from TA universal analysis software. Two replicates were tested for each sample, and the mean and standard deviation of the results were reported.
Ta q500 thermal analyzer
Manufactured by TA Instruments
Sourced in United States
The TA Q500 is a thermal analyzer designed to measure the thermal properties of materials. It can perform various thermal analysis techniques, such as thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), to characterize the behavior of materials under controlled temperature conditions.

Thermal analysis (TGA) of the different starch samples were performed in a TA Q500 thermal analyzer (TA Instruments, New Castle, DE) with a synthetic air atmosphere and 60 mL/cm flow rate. Samples were heated from room temperature to 600ºC with a heating rate of 10ºC/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.
