Thermal analysis

All the major thermal analysis techniques to investigate the behaviour of materials as a function of temperature are available within the Department of Materials at Imperial.

Measurements of mass, temperature, heat flow and dimensions are all available. Typical samples can be a few mg in bulk, powder or liquid form, with the exception of dilatometry which requires a solid specimen.

The facility is equipped with a Netzsch “Jupiter” Simultaneous DSC/TGA instrument, a Netzsch 402E Dilatometer and a Stanton Redcroft 780 series, Simultaneous DTA/TGA instrument.  All of these instruments have a nominal maximum temperature of 1500°C and experiments can be conducted under a variety of atmospheres.
