What is Thermal Analysis? Thermal analysis is a series of techniques thatprovide physical property measurement as afunction of temperature, time, and othervariables.

Common Techniques Include Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) - heat Modulated DSC (MDSC ) Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) – weight Simultaneous DSC/TGA (SDT) Vapor sorption analysis Thermomechanical Analysis (TMA) - dimension Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) - modulus Can also be considered a “solids rheometer”

Crystallization Crystallization is an exothermic peak in a DSC scan Crystallization is molten amorphous material changing tocrystalline material upon cooling Cold-Crystallization is solid amorphous material changingto crystalline material upon heating Crystallization is a kinetic, two-step process NucleationCrystal growth

Crystallization Crystallization is a kinetic process which is typicallystudied either while cooling or isothermal, but can also bestudied during heating (Cold-Crystallization) Differences in crystallization temperature or time (at aspecific temperature) between samples can affect end-useproperties as well as processing conditions Isothermal crystallization is the most sensitive way toidentify differences in crystallization rates

What is a Differential Scanning Calorimetry A DSC measures the difference in Heat Flow Ratebetween a sample and inert reference as a function oftime and temperature

The DSC Heat Flow Rate Equation A DSC measures the difference in Heat Flow Ratebetween a sample and inert reference as a function oftime and temperature.dHdT Cp f (T, t)dtdt A DSC is calibrated for the heat flow enthalpy andtemperature. Baseline calibrations are performed permanufacturers recommendations.

Instrument setup factors affecting calibration Purge Gas Re-calibrate baseline/Tzero, temperature and cell constant Thermal conductivity of helium Thermal conductivity ofnitrogen/air/oxygen Thermal conductivity of argon Cooling Accessories Re-calibrate baseline/Tzero, temperature and cell constant The position of the cooling head around the cell will affect thecalibration of the instrument. Uninstallation and reinstallation of acooling accessory or changing the cooling accessory warrants acomplete re-calibration Pan selection Re-calibrate temperature and cell constant It will not impact the baseline/Tzero calibration

General calibration and verification guidelines Calibration Use Calibration Mode Calibrate upon installation Re-calibrate if does not pass verification or if instrument setup ismodified (see previous slide) Verification Determine how often to verify data Run a reference material as a sample (in standard mode) Compare results vs literature values If results are within your tolerance – system checks out and doesnot need re-calibration If results are out of tolerance, then re-calibrate

What is Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA)? Thermogravimetric Analysis(TGA) measures weight/masschange (loss or gain) and the rateof weight change as a function oftemperature, time andatmosphere. Measurements are used primarilyto determine the composition ofmaterials and to predict theirthermal stability.

Isothermal Microcalorimeters General Purpose: Thermal Activity Monitors (e.g. TAM IV, TAM 48, TAM AIR) aregeneral purpose IMC which can be accessorized to study manydifferent processes such as materials stability and compatibility,cement curing, heats of solution, pharmaceutical stability, andmicrobiological growth. Specialized: An isothermal titration calorimeter (ITC) is an IMC specificallydesigned to measure the heats of interaction when one liquid istitrated into another. ITC is used to study intermolecular binding,surfactant properties (e.g. micelles), and enzyme kinetics.

Microcalorimetry – A Universal Technique Isothermal microcalorimetry is a technique for a directmeasurement of heat production or consumption of a sample Virtually all chemical, physical, and biological processes resultin either heat production or heat consumption. Calorimetry quantifies the amount and rate of heat release interms of heat flow, heat and heat capacity. Calorimetry is a non-specific technique making it ideal
