Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC)

TGA measures changes in a material’s weight as it is heated, revealing thermal stability, decomposition behavior, and compositional analysis. DSC complements this by monitoring heat flow to detect transitions such as melting, crystallization, and glass transition. Together, these techniques provide comprehensive insight into a material’s thermal and phase behavior.
