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.

INTRODUCTION

  • The AMI-Micro 100 Series is a high-precision physisorption instrument designed for the accurate determination of specific surface area and pore size distribution in a wide range of materials. The series is available in three distinct models—A, B, and C—each offering specialized capabilities to accommodate various analytical requirements (refer to the specification table for further details).
  • The Micro 100 C model is equipped with high-sensitivity 1 torr pressure transducers (with an optional 0.1 torr configuration) and a turbo molecular pump achieving an ultimate pressure of 10⁻⁸ Pa, ensuring exceptional accuracy in the characterization of microporous structures. Furthermore, all analysis stations incorporate in-situ sample preparation, effectively minimizing contamination and enhancing measurement reliability.
  • Engineered for advanced materials research, the AMI-Micro 100 Series is particularly well-suited for the characterization of microporous materials, including metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), molecular sieves, catalysts, activated carbon, and other porous substances, providing precise and reproducible gas adsorption analysis.

FEATURES

  • Module Design for Minimal Dead Volume
  • The internal gas path design of the instrument adopts a unique integrated metal module design, which not only reduces the internal dead volume space but also lowers the system leakage rate.
  • Saturated Vapor Pressure P0
  • An independent P₀ pressure transducer is configured at 133 kPa for P₀ value testing, enabling real-time P/P₀ measurement for more accurate and reliable test data. Alternatively, an atmospheric pressure input method can be used to determine P₀.
  • Datasheet
  • Multiple Degassing Stations for Sample Preparation
  • Equipped with two (2) integrated degassing ports and two (2) in-situ degassing ports. Each port offers independent temperature control from ambient to 400°C, ensuring precise sample preparation. In-situ degassing enhances microporous material analysis by providing superior efficiency over ex-situ methods.
  • High-Precision Micropore Distribution Analysis (Micro 100C)
  • Utilizes advanced micropore models, including the Horvath-Kawazoe (HK) and Saito-Foley (SF) methods,to accurately determine pore size distribution. Ensures an aperture deviation of less than 0.02 nm, providing precise characterization of microporous materials in gas
    adsorption studies.
  • Thermal Stabilization
  • A core rod in the sample tube reduces dead volume and stabilizes the cold free space coefficient, while an iso-thermal jacket maintains a constant thermal profile along the tube. Additionally, automatic helium correction ensures precise calibration for any powder or particulate material, minimizing temperature- related deviations during analysis.
  • Customizable Selection of Pressure Transducers
  • Depending on the model, the AMI-Micro 100 Series offers various quantities and types of pressure transducers. Among them, the Micro 100C, equipped with a 1 torr transducer (selectable 0.1 Torr), enables a  partial pressure (P/P₀) of up to 10⁻⁸ (N₂/77 K) in
    physical adsorption analysis.
  • Datasheet
  • Optimized Manifold Contamination Control
  • This system features a multi-channel, adjustable, and parallel vacuum design with segmented vacuum control. This setup effectively prevents samples from being drawn up into the analyzer therefore preventing manifold contamination.
  • Turbo Molecular Pump
  • A Turbo Molecular pump is included on the Micro 100B and Micro 100C. Achieving ultimate pressures of 10⁻⁸ Pa, this system ensures a solid foundation for precise micropore analysis at ultra-low pressures.

SOFTWARE

  • PAS Software is an intelligent solution for operation control, data acquisition, calculation, analysis, and report generation on the Windows platform. It communicates with the host via the LAN port and can remotely control multiple instruments simultaneously.
  • PAS Software adopts a unique intake control method, optimizing pressure in the adsorption and desorption processes through a six-stage setting, which improves testing efficiency.
  • Datasheet
  • Changes in pressure and temperature inside the manifold can be directly observed in the test interface, providing convenience for sample testing and instrument maintenance. The current state of analyzer can be intuitively understood with the indicator light and event bar.
  • Each adsorption equilibrium process is dynamically displayed on the test interface. Adsorption characteristics of the sample can be easily understood.
  • A clear and concise report setting interface, including the following:
  • Adsorption and desorption isotherms
  • Single-/Multipoint BET surface area
  • Langmuir surface area
  • STSA-surface area
  • Pore size distribution according to BJH
  • T-plot
  • Dubinin-Radushkevich
  • Horvath-Kawazoe
  • Saito-Foley

TYPICAL ANALYSIS RESULTS
