Webinar to explore thermal analysis for materials characterization

Precision instruments manufacturer Mettler Toledo, Greifensee, Switzerland, will present a free, live webinar, “All About Thermal Analysis,” on Sept. 28, 2017. The English-language presentation will showcase thermal analysis as a useful technique for characterizing a variety of materials to gain insight into their behavior.

Thermal analysis measures the physical and chemical properties of a sample as a function of temperature or time when the sample is heated, cooled, or held at a constant temperature. Properties such as heat capacity, expansion coefficient, and stiffness can be determined. Melting, glass transition temperatures, and thermal stability also are ascertained.

This type of characterization helps provide insight into the behavior of materials to solve problems and ensure safety to support quality control and R&D. The webinar will explore representative thermal analysis applications in different industries and will cover differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetry, thermomechanical analysis, dynamic mechanical analysis, and thermo-optical analysis.
