In this Applications note, we demonstrate using TGA to precisely control the degree of degradation to be < 5wt% and characterize the impact of degrees of degradation on polymer thermal properties.
Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) provides a method for accelerating the lifetime testing of polymers so that short term experiments can be used to predict in-use lifetime.

This note describes the importance of DSC to study crystallization behavior and crystallinity of recycled PET used in the production of honeycomb structures.
This Applications Note discusses the advantages of the Discovery X3 DSC for thermoplastic analysis which includes the ability to identify potential differences in thermal properties as a function of thermal history.
Modulated DSC (MDSC) was performed on a polypropylene (PP) battery separator to gain additional insights into the effects of stretching during processing of the film.
Modulated thermomechanical analysis (MTMA) was performed on a polypropylene (PP) battery separator to gain further insight into the mechanism of the dimension change and coefficient of linear expansion (CLE or α).
The TA Instruments Powder Rheology Accessory was used with Discovery HR 30 rheometer to perform shear measurements. Duplicate measurements were performed with fresh samples under ambient conditions.
In this application note, a TA Discovery HR rotational rheometer facilitates coating optimization by measuring slurry viscosity over different shear rates that relate to coating speed. Drying kinetics are investigated with a Discovery TGA to yield the most cost-efficient condition.
This paper describes in detail the relevant theory and experimental design of measuring the in-plane thermal diffusivity of high thermal conductivity graphite thin film samples with TA Instruments’ flash diffusivity analyzer DXF 200.
This paper describes in detail the relevant theory and experimental design of measuring the in-plane thermal diffusivity of high thermal conductivity copper thin film samples with a flash diffusivity analyzer.
In this study, a high resolution TAM microcalorimeter equipped with 12 microcalorimeters was used to measure and quantitatively compare the heat flow of lithium-ion batteries that only vary in concentration of electrolyte additive.
