Applications of TG-MS and TG-GC/MS to Polymers

摘要

TGA allows you to quantify the weight loss of a material at specific temperatures. MS increases the power of the technique by providing the ability to identify the species evolved during thermal analysis. TG-GC/MS adds the additional capability of chromatographic separation of co-evolved gases. While not real time, the improved separation of GC/MS makes data interpretation easier than TG-MS.
