TGA
Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) is a thermal analysis technique that measures the amount analysis technique that measures the amount and rate of change in the weight of a material as a function of temperature or time under conditions of a controlled atmosphere. These weight changes include decomposition, dehydration and oxidation dehydration, and oxidation.
Thermal Analysis Jeffrey A. Jansen The Madison Group
Mechanisms of Weight Change in TGA
W ight L
TGA
• Weight Loss:– Decomposition: The breaking apart of chemical bonds.– Evaporation: The loss of volatiles with elevated temperature.– Reduction: Interaction of sample to a reducing atmosphere
(hydrogen, ammonia, etc).– Desorption.
• Weight Gain:Oxidation: Interaction of the sample with an oxidizing – Oxidation: Interaction of the sample with an oxidizing atmosphere.
– Absorption.
All of these are kinetic processes (i.e. there is a rate at which they occur).

TGA Curves are not ‘Fingerprint’ CurvesBecause most events that occur in a TGA are kinetic in
TGA
• Pan material type shape and size
Because most events that occur in a TGA are kinetic in nature (meaning they are dependent on absolute temperature and time spent at that temperature), any experimental parameter that can effect the reaction rate will change the shape / transition temperatures of the curve. These things include:
• Pan material type, shape and size.• Ramp rate.• Purge gas.• Sample mass, volume/form and morphology.

DYNAMIC MECHANICAL ANALYSIS(DMA)
Thermal Analysis Jeffrey A. Jansen The Madison Group
DMA
• Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA)• Technique in which a small deformation is applied q pp
to a sample in a cyclic manner. This allows the material’s response to stress, temperature, frequency and other values to be studied.
• Assesses the proportion of elastic and viscous components in a polymer
• Determines the factors that change this balance • How will a material perform in a given application
environment

DMA
Applies a sinusoidal deformation to a sample of known geometry. The sample can be subjected by a known geometry. The sample can be subjected by a controlled stress or a controlled strain. For a known stress, the sample will then deform a certain amount. How much it deforms is related to its stiffness (modulus). A force motor is used to generate the sinusoidal wave and this is transmitted to the sample via a drive shaft.

DMA - Creep
Creep is…..
the tendency of a solid material to deform permanently under the influence of constant stress (tensile, compressive, shear, or flexural). It occurs as a function of time through extended exposure to of time through extended exposure to levels of stress that are below the yield strength of the material.
Thermal Analysis Jeffrey A. Jansen The Madison Group
DMA - Creep
• Low to moderate forces exerted over an extended time → lower ductility. Can result in brittle fracture in
ll d til l tinormally ductile plastics• Inherent viscoelastic nature of polymers leads to time
dependency• Prolonged static stresses lead to a decay in apparent
modulus through localized molecular reorganization of polymer chainspolymer chains
• At stresses below the yield point molecular reorganization includes disentanglement as there is no opportunity for yielding
