Work description
The University of Plymouth will be looking to acquire a Thermal Analysis suite to service teaching and research in materials characterisation (ceramics, metals, polymers and composites), food science and chemistry. The core equipment would include: • DTA (Differential Thermal Analysis)/DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry), • TGA (ThermoGravimetric Analysis)/DTG (Differential ThermoGravimetry), with capability for TPO (Temperature programmed oxidation) and TPR (Temperature programmed reduction), • Dilatometry/TMA (Thermo-Mechanical Analysis), • DMTA (Dynamic Mechanical Thermal Analysis) at a scale to permit the determination of the effect of composite mesostructures, • Appropriate balances and preparation equipment
