Thermal analysis techniques like , , and are powerful tools for studying materials. They measure changes in mass, temperature, and as samples are heated or cooled, revealing crucial info about composition, , and .
These methods are widely used to characterize , , and . They help determine key properties like melting points, glass transitions, and decomposition temperatures, which are essential for optimizing material performance and processing conditions.

Measures change in mass of a sample as a function of temperature or time in a controlled atmosphere
Provides quantitative information about composition and thermal stability by monitoring during heating
Typical TGA instrument consists of:
High-precision balance
Sample pan
Programmable furnace
Purge gas system to control sample environment
Applications and Data Interpretation
Studies various processes: decomposition, oxidation, reduction, vaporization, sublimation, adsorption/desorption
