Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) is a powerful tool widely used in materials science and research. It works by measuring the weight change of a sample as it is subjected to controlled temperature variations in a gaseous environment. As the temperature increases, the TGA detects the weight loss or gain of the sample, providing valuable information about its thermal stability, decomposition behavior, and composition. TGA is essential for characterizing a wide range of materials, including polymers, minerals, pharmaceuticals, and catalysts. Its precise and sensitive measurements make it an indispensable tool in studying thermal properties and understanding material behavior under various conditions.
Applications:
- Examination of polymers (plastic industry).
- Pharmaceutical industry (stability).
- Evaluation of paints and their heat resistance.
- Analysis of thermal insulation materials
- Examination of materials used in battery and solar cell manufacturing.
- Study of the temperature effect on materials used in catalyst production.
- Testing of thin films and solid materials used in ceramic and construction material manufacturing
Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) Analyzer is a powerful tool used to measure the specific surface area of solid materials. It operates on the principle of gas adsorption onto the material's surface, allowing for the determination of surface area and pore size distribution.
The device is widely used in industries and companies that focus on the development and manufacturing of materials requiring a large and effective surface area:
- Catalysts Industry: In industries such as petroleum, chemicals, and automotive.
- Food and Beverage Industry: Measuring the surface area of additives in food to improve their properties and enhance flavor.
- Pharmaceutical Companies: Measuring the surface area of materials to improve drug efficacy and absorption.
- Battery and Energy Storage Industry: Studying the materials used in batteries and energy storage.
- Electronics and Nanotechnology: Studying the properties of materials and thin films used in electronics and nanotechnology.
- Quality and Efficiency Testing of Building Materials and Insulation.
