Tg of Glycerine using a Stainless Steel Gauze Scaffold
21 Jun 2012Traditionally, the determination of the glass transition it is performed using Shear geometry, but this can be problematical with the material liable to flow at room temperature. An alternative is demonstrated in this application note by the use of a gauze scaffold to support glycerine. The glass transition is easily identified and correlates to data from a DSC experiment.

Thermal Analysis EquipmentThermal analysis equipment is used for measuring heat flow, weight loss, dimension changes or thermomechanical properties and is important for analyzing a material’s performance and stability. Thermal analysis equipment includes differential scanning calorimeters (DSC), thermogravimetric analyzers (TGA), thermomechanical analyzers (TMA), dilatometers, thermometers, vapor sorption analyzers, boiling and melting point apparatus. Thermal analyzers can reveal properties such as melting, crystallization and glass transitions or other processes such as oxidation, decomposition, volatilization, as well as coefficients of thermal expansion and modulus.
