Thermogravimetric analysis

Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) is a technique used to measure how a material's weight changes as it is heated or cooled. By heating a sample in a controlled environment, scientists can observe when it loses mass—due to processes like decomposition, moisture loss, or oxidation—and determine its composition and stability. TGA provides valuable insights into a material's thermal properties and composition, making it useful in industries like polymers, pharmaceuticals, and materials science to analyze purity, stability, and ingredient content.
