APPLICATIONS

  • Cold Crystallization Behavior of PET
  • The crystal growth and degree of crystallization depend on the polymer type, cooling rate, or isothermal aging time. The calculation method for crystallization enthalpy is the same as that for melting enthalpy. Cold crystallization is the process of crystal growth during heating. This exothermic event precedes crystal melting.
  • Glass Transition Analysis
  • The glass transition temperature (Tg) of polymers refers to the temperature range at which they transition from a rigid "glassy" state to a flexible "rubbery" state, significantly affecting their usability, particularly in elastomers. Understanding Tg is crucial for quality control, process optimization, ensuring product performance, and maintaining material consistency.
  • Phase Transformation of Nickel-Titanium Alloys
  • The Af temperature refers to the phase transition temperature of nickel-titanium alloys, marking the transformation from the high-temperature phase (a-phase) to the low-temperature phase (f-phase). In the high-temperature phase, the crystal structure of nickel-titanium alloy exhibits a cubic system, while in the lowtemperature phase it transforms into a monoclinic system. This phase transition temperature change gives nickel-titanium alloys their shape memory properties. These shape memory characteristics enable important applications across various fields, such as medical devices, aerospace, and mechanical engineering.

PDSC

  • Pressure Differential Scanning Calorimeter
  • The Pressure Differential Scanning Calorimeter (PDSC) is capable of conducting calorimetric tests under both high and low-pressure conditions. In practical applications, many raw materials and finished products are processed or used under high temperature and high pressure, making it essential to understand their performance under these extreme conditions. While traditional calorime-ters are effective in characterizing the physical and chemical properties of materials, the PDSC extends this characterization to extreme pressure environments. It allows for an in-depth analysis of the heat flow changes during phase transitions and chemical reactions under high or low pressure.
  • In a sealed crucible, changes in internal pressure can cause DSC test results to differ from those obtained under atmospheric pressure. The PDSC enables precise pressure control, which allows researchers to investigate the effects of varying pressures on samples and uncover thermal behavior differences in different environments. For material research in extreme test conditions, the PDSC offers superior capabilities in characterizing heat changes during reaction processes.

APPLICATIONS

  • Coupled with a Chemisorption Analyzer
  • The integration of mass spectrometry with chemisorption analyzers combines precise control of gas adsorption and desorption (e.g., TPD and TPR) with real-time, high-sensitivity gas composition analysis. This powerful combination allows dynamic monitoring of gas species, concentration changes, and temperature-dependent behavior during reactions. The result is deeper insight into the distribution of active sites, reaction kinetics, and structure–property relationships on material.
  • AMI-300
  • Coupled with a Reactor System
  • The reactor system is a compact, high-efficiency setup that simulates real industrial reaction conditions with precise control. Coupled with the Master 400, it enables real-time detection of reaction products from microreactors. This provides insights into composition, reaction mechanisms, and kinetic behavior. It also supports catalyst evaluation and the development of new catalysts and reaction processes.
