Event Overview:

In this webinar, thermal analysis expert Krystelle Mafina is joined by Michael Antwi of Wiley Library. Mafina will demonstrate effective failure analysis and reverse engineering methodologies for material QAQC and novel advanced material development using TGA/STA and DSC thermal instrumentation. She will give insights using a commonly used TG-IR hyphenated configuration, and then Antwi will further explain the laboratory workflow advantages to be gained from using reference libraries.

Key Learning Objectives

• Understand how TGA/STA chemically profiles materials to better protect intellectual property
• Learn about DSC analysis and how using HyperDSC mode increases measurement (deg/min) sensitivity
• Deepen your data insights with hyphenation through the TG-IR configuration
• See how leveraging TEA reference libraries will help you achieve more efficient lab workflows
