Pyris 1 instrument

Manufactured by PerkinElmer
Sourced in Italy

The Pyris 1 is a thermal analysis instrument from PerkinElmer. It is designed to measure the thermal properties of materials by subjecting them to controlled temperature conditions and monitoring their response. The core function of the Pyris 1 is to perform thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements.

The
molecular weights of the P3HT6S polymer and soluble fraction of P(NIPAm-co-NIPMAm) and P(NIPAm-co-NIPMAm)/P3HT6S
hydrogels were determined by gel permeation chromatography (GPC).
THF solutions were applied to a Linear Instruments UVIS-200 apparatus
operating at 254 nm and equipped with a Phenomenex mixed bed column
5 μ MXL type. The GPC calibration curve was recorded using monodisperse
polystyrene standards.
Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC)
was used to determine the characteristic temperatures of the P(NIPAm-co-NIPMAm) and P(NIPAm-co-NIPMAm)/P3HT6S
hydrogels. DSC measurements were obtained using a Perkin Elmer PYRIS-1
instrument. The analysis of hydrated samples was performed in a heating
mode starting from 20 to 50 °C following a rate of 2 °/min,
with an isothermal stop for 1 min. DSC analysis of freeze-dried samples
was performed in the 0–250 °C range with a rate of 10
°/min.
Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was performed using
a Q5000 (TA
Instruments) instrument under a nitrogen atmosphere. Thermogravimetric
measurements were carried out in the temperature range of 20–700
°C to analyze the P3HT6S polymer as well as P(NIPAm-co-NIPMAm) and P(NIPAm-co-NIPMAm)/P3HT6S hydrogels
having a mass of about 2.7–3.7 mg. TGA data were analyzed using
TA Universal Analysis software. All measurements were performed at
a constant heating rate of 20 °C/min.

Thermal Degradation Analysis of Polymers

TGA, in accordance with ASTM Standard E 1131, was used to assess the thermal degradation of the raw polymer, fibres, and composites [31 ]. TGA examines how a material’s physical and chemical properties change (with a constant heating rate) as temperature rises. Samples of approximately 5 mg in weight were heated at a rate of 50 °C per minute in a nitrogen atmosphere using a Pyris 1 instrument from Perkin-Elmer, Italy, and the accompanying weight loss was recorded.

Comprehensive Characterization of Plastic Batches

The three plastic batches were characterized using Fourier Transformed Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (TGA). Infrared spectra were obtained in the range 500–4000 cm−1 using a Perkin-Elmer FT-IR Frontier spectroscope with a resolution of 1 cm−1. X-ray diffraction was carried out using a Malvern Panalytical X’PERT PRO PW3040/60 diffractometer with Cu Kα radiation at 40 kV and 40 mA. A Perkin Elmer Pyris 1 instrument was used for DSC tests. The samples were heated from 50 °C to 300 °C under nitrogen atmosphere (gas flow 30 mL/min, heating rate 10 °C/min) and then cooled; heating and cooling curves were recorded. Thermal gravimetric analyses were conducted with the Mettler Toledo TGA/SDTA851 equipment both in inert atmosphere (argon flow; 50 mL/min) and oxidizing atmosphere (air flow; 50 mL/min), heating the samples from 25 °C to 750 °C with a heating rate of 10 °C/min. Similar analyses were performed on the residue constituted by the contaminants with the aim of assessing the effectiveness and the selectivity of the washing process.

Characterization of Nanomaterials by TEM and TGA

TEM images were taken using a Philips CM-100 transmission electron microscope operating with an acceleration voltage of 100 kV. Samples were prepared by adding approximately 20 mg of sample to 2 mL ethanol in a small vial, which were then sonicated for 15 minutes. The sonicated mixture was then dropped onto a carbon-coated copper grid using a Pasteur pipette and the ethanol was allowed to evaporate. Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) Thermogravimetric analysis was conducted using a Perkin Elmer Pyris 1 Instrument. N 2 was used as purge gas with a flow rate of 60 ml/min. Calibration was carried out using the curie points of iron and alumel by burning a 10 mg weight of each solid. Any remaining impurities from previous runs were removed by heating the pan in a flame of a Bunsen burner before running the sample. The software Pyris Manager was used to program the furnace using the following parameters: the temperature was held at 25 °C for 5 minutes and then heated up to 800 °C using intervals of 10 C per minute; finally, the temperature was held at 800 °C for another 5 minutes. The resulting thermograms were analysed using Pyris Manager.

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.
