The glass transition and softening for glass material

TA-5011: The glass transition and softening for glass material

 

TMA can measure the expansion ratio and softening temperature for material. In glass material, TMA is available to measure the expansion ratio change due to glass transition because the expansion ratio is remarkably different in the glass transition vicinity. And, it can be measured the material softening in the glass transition vicinity under constant loading.

TG-DTA is a hyphenated technology generally referred to as simultaneous thermal analysis (STA).

 

 

DSC is a thermal analysis technique that quantifies the amount of energy in a reaction.

DSC with industry-first self-diagnostic feature and industry's highest temperature range

Quantifies the energy changes in reactions such as melting, transition, crystallization and glass transition temperature.

DSC8271 is a high-temperature type DSC with a maximum temperature of 1,500°C.

TMA is the measurement of a change in dimension or mechanical property of the sample while it is subjected to a controlled temperature program.

 

The compact humidity generator (HUM-1) is connected to the TG-DTA for measurements under constant relative humidity water vapor atmosphere.

 

TMA/HUM measures change in dimension or mechanical property of a sample while subjected to a temperature regime under water vapor atmosphere with a constant relative humidity.

In TG-FTIR, gases evolved by volatilization or thermal decomposition are qualitatively analyzed, which allows you to track changes in the generated amount along with the temperature change.
