Now the heat is on

To precisely analyse the thermal properties of our bio-based materials, we have purchased the TGA 4000 from PerkinElmer. This sophisticated device enables precise thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and provides valuable insights into the decomposition and stability of materials.

A particular highlight of the TGA 4000 is the optional IR coupling, which allows us to analyse the gases released during the analysis process in real time. This extension enables us to understand the chemical reactions and decomposition mechanisms even more precisely and to carry out further research.
