Material Composition Testing

Secrets of Material Composition Testing

Introduction

Understanding the composition of materials is crucial for ensuring their quality and performance in various applications. Material composition testing helps us delve into the chemical makeup of different substances, providing valuable insights into their elemental constituents, molecular structures, and surface properties. In this service, we employ advanced analytical techniques to accurately identify and quantify the components present in a sample. Let's explore how material composition testing, including techniques such as DSC, TGA, XRD, FTIR, GCMS, EDX, and SEM, can contribute to better product development, quality control, and regulatory compliance.

DSC applications in polymers at kiyo rnd lab

  • Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC)

    DSC measures changes in a material's heat capacity as a function of temperature, providing information on thermal transitions such as melting point, glass transition temperature, and heat capacity.

  • Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA)

    TGA measures changes in a material's weight as a function of temperature, allowing for the characterization of thermal stability, decomposition kinetics, and moisture content.

  • X-ray Diffraction (XRD)

    XRD is used to determine the crystalline structure of materials by analyzing the diffraction pattern produced when X-rays interact with the atomic lattice of a sample.

  • Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR)

    FTIR analyzes the absorption of infrared light by a material, providing information about its molecular composition, functional groups, and chemical bonds.

  • Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (GCMS)

    GCMS separates and analyzes the components of a volatile mixture, providing information about the chemical composition and concentration of organic compounds.

  • Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX)

    EDX detects and analyzes the characteristic X-rays emitted by a material when it is bombarded with electrons, providing elemental composition information and surface mapping capabilities.

  • Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM)

    SEM uses a focused electron beam to generate high-resolution images of a material's surface, allowing for detailed morphological analysis and elemental mapping.
