Abstract

A new symmetrical micro-thermogravimetric analyzer has been developed. The symmetrical design of this instrument allows determination of very small mass changes over a wide range of temperatures. The utility of the instrument was demonstrated by studying the decomposition characteristics of CaC2O4·H2O and the curing and decomposition kinetics of a glass filled polymer composite.

Zusammenfassung

Ein neuer symmetrische mikrothermogravimetrischer Analyser wurde entwickelt. Die symmetrische Gestaltung dieses Instruments ermöglicht die Bestimmung sehr geringer, sich über weite Temperaturbereiche hinziehender Massenveränderungen. Die Brauchbarkeit des Instruments wird demonstriert, in dem die Zersetzungscharakteristik von CaC2O4.H2O und die Kinetik der Härtung und Zersetzung von glassverstärkten Polymerverbundstoffen untersucht wird.

Резюме

Разработан новый сим метричный микро-термогравимет рический анализатор. Симметричное решени е этого прибора позво ляет определять очень мал ые изменения массы в широкой области темп ератур. Эффективност ь прибора показана на примере и зучения реакции разложения СаС2О42О, а также кинетики отве рждения и разложения стеклон аполненного полимерного компози та.
