• 熱分析: Thermo Gravimetry/Differential Thermal Analyzer (TG-DTA) Rigaku　https://rigaku.com/ja/products/thermal-analysis ひとつの試料で，示差熱分析（DTA：Differential Thermal Analysis）と熱重量測定（TG：Thermogravimetry）が同時に行える装置。温度プログラム(昇温速度制御)によって試料温度を変化させ、試料の化学・物理変化により生じる重量変化、温度変化を測定。試料の相転移温度(固相→固相、固体→液体、液体→気体)や、各種雰囲気における試料の反応性、熱安定性の評価ができる。さらに、速度論的解析から活性化エネルギーを算出することも可能。This instrument performs simultaneous Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA) and Thermogravimetry (TG) on a single sample. A controlled temperature program (heating-rate control) alters the sample temperature while recording weight changes and thermal signals that arise from chemical and physical transformations. The measurement atmosphere (gases) can be changed, enabling evaluation of phase-transition temperatures (solid–solid, solid→liquid, liquid→gas), reactivity under different atmospheres, and thermal stability. Kinetic analysis is also supported to compute activation energies.
