In this note, a lithium nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) cathode and graphite anode are evaluated, finding higher reaction energy in the cathode, and increasing thermal stability with decreasing state-of-charge.
Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), which provides information about the thermal stability and decomposition rate of materials, is an excellent technique for rapidly comparing the behavior of materials tested with different flame retardants.

A lignite coal sample and several petroleum coke samples have been gasified in the new Discovery HP-TGA 75 and 7500 instruments using carbon dioxide and steam as gasifying agents. The evolved gas atmosphere was analyzed with online mass spectrometry to detect the generated syngas components.
Evaluation of the single beam and 100% line is important in any FTIR analysis and especially in TGA/FTIR.
To assess how alternative materials perform as compared to traditional plastic materials, dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) may be used in addition to previously reported tensile, compressive, and hardness methods.
TA Instruments’ High-Pressure TGA (HP-TGA) enables users to investigate stability and lifetime of polymers under realistic working conditions, assessing not only the effect of temperature on material stability, but also the effects of high pressure and possibly corrosive atmospheres.
The purpose for this note is to detail the basic thermal analysis and mechanical techniques used to characterize a typical separator made from PP.
Rheology is an indispensable tool to characterize structural molecular changes induced due to processing conditions and processing time.
The crystallization kinetics of different color marker pen caps made from polypropylene (PP) were evaluated using a non-isothermal crystallization DSC experiment. A reference sample of PP and PP containing a chemical nucleator Millad 3988 (DMDBS) were also included for comparison.

Adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) are a leading gene therapy platform but pose challenges regarding encapsidation efficiency and quality control. This work highlights the use of the Nano DSC to overcome some of the challenges associated with AAVs.
