Estimation of Polymer Lifetime by TGA Decomposition Kinetics

Estimating polymer lifetime is critical for applications where long-term reliability matters, such as insulation materials in nuclear reactors and power systems. Traditional methods can take months, but Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) offers a faster alternative. ABSTRACT In many polymer applications the ability to predict product lifetime is valuable because the costs of premature failure in actual…

Understanding Solvents in Chromatography Systems 

Chromatography is a technique used to separate and analyze complex mixtures of compounds. The separation process depends on the different affinities of the compounds for a stationary phase and a mobile phase. The stationary phase is usually a solid or a liquid coating on a solid support, while the mobile phase is usually a liquid or a gas.
