Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA): determination of isothermal weight loss (volatiles, moisture, residue)
In this analysis, a sample is placed in the thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) and is quickly heated to a target temperature after which the temperature is kept stable (i.e. isothermal or 'controlled temperature') and the change in weight is recorded as a function of time.
The resulting weight change profile can be used to study of phenomena like absorption, adsorption, desorption, phase change, decomposition,....
For example the presence and quantity of moisture, residues and volatiles in your polymer can be determined from the recorded weight losses.
Make sure to include information on the aim of your measurement, your desired measurement conditions (temperature, atmosphere,...) and the chemical nature (e.g. PP, PE, PET, PA,... preferably with a safety datasheet) of your polymer with your order. Extra costs may apply depending on the complexity and duration of your requested conditions.
