Chemisorption and AMI

Chemisorption—the formation of chemical bonds between gas-phase molecules and surface atoms—is the foundational step in heterogeneous catalysis. On supported metal catalysts, […]

Optimizing Adsorbate Selection, Adsorption Conditions, and Stoichiometry in Chemisorption

The choice of adsorbate is critical in temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) experiments. The selected gas should chemisorb selectively on the metal, […]

High-Pressure Adsorption of Supercritical Carbon Dioxide using an MSB-Magnetic Suspension Balance

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) is a major greenhouse gas, and technologies for its capture and storage are central to combating climate change. Among the available approaches, adsorption […]

Thermogravimetric Analysis and Crystalline Hydrates

In thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), maintaining a truly inert environment is essential when studying materials prone to oxidation at elevated temperatures. While most commercial […]

Simultaneous DSC & TGA of Barium Chloride Dihydrate

Barium chloride dihydrate (BaCl₂·2H₂O) is a stable hydrate that retains its water of crystallization under ambient conditions. Upon heating, it undergoes a two-step dehydration process […]

Understanding Nylon Degradation and Crystallinity with DSC

Nylon is a widely used engineering thermoplastic in industries ranging from automotive to consumer goods. However, nylon components can sometimes fail in service […]

DSC Characterization of NiTi Shape Memory Alloy Phase Transformation Temperatures

Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) is a metallic material composed of more than two metal elements that exhibits a shape memory effect—the ability to return to a pre-set shape […]

Quantitative Conventional Differential Scanning Calorimetr

Conventional differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) can be used to quantify the amount of one crystalline form in a mixture of two forms—even when thermal transitions […]
