TL;DR: In this paper, the electrical properties of the solid solutions between stabilized zirconia and ceria, (0.9-y)ZrO/sub 2/-yCeO/ sub 2/-0.1y, with 0 less than or equal to y less than and equal to 0.9, were investigated, between 1273 and 1673 K.
Abstract: The electrical properties of the solid solutions between stabilized zirconia and ceria, (0.9-y)ZrO/sub 2/-yCeO/sub 2/-0.1Y/sub 2/O/sub 3/ with 0 less than or equal to y less than or equal to 0.9, have been investigated, between 1273 and 1673 K, in a large range of oxygen partial pressures. The total electrical conductivity and the concentrations of the various charge carriers, determined through thermogravimetry and measurement of magnetic susceptibility at high temperature as a function of oxygen partial pressure, makes it possible to develop a model accounting for the transport properties as a function of temperature and oxygen partial pressure. On the basis of the present results, the materials in question appear to be suitable as membranes semipermeable to oxygen.

TL;DR: The ratio of interlamellarly fixed water and bulk water, which may be determined easily by means of thermogravimetry, is found to be an important quality criterion for these O/W creams.
Abstract: O/W creams with crystalline gel structures (Water Containing Hydrophilic Ointment DAB 8, Non-ionic Hydrophilic Ointment DAC and a stearate cream) were investigated by means of small angle X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetry and freeze fracture technique in combination with Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). It was found that these bases are building up two different colloidal gel structures, a hydrophilic gel phase and a lipophilic gel phase, each of them forming a coherent network. The hydrophilic gel phase is characterized by an interlamellar water layer; this interlamellarly fixed water is in a dynamic equilibrium with the bulk water phase. The lipophilic gel phase immobilizes mainly the inner (dispersed) phase. So the O/W creams presented here are supposed to be four-phase systems. The ratio of interlamellarly fixed water and bulk water, which may be determined easily by means of thermogravimetry, is found to be an important quality criterion for these O/W creams. The desired properties of water release of such a cream may be chosen by shifting the ratio of interlamellarly fixed water and bulk water.

TL;DR: In this article, a thermogravimetry-evolved gas analysis (TG-EGA) method has been developed for the determination of the AgO, Ag/sub 2 O, Ag, and Ag O content of silver oxide cathodes.
Abstract: A new, rapid, and precise thermogravimetry-evolved gas analysis (TG-EGA) method has been developed for the determination of the AgO, Ag/sub 2/O, Ag, and Ag/sub 2/CO/sub 3/ content of silver oxide cathodes. Cathode samples were analyzed by the present method and by the commonly used wet chemical method. The analysis is being used to study the rates of change in chemical composition during storage of cathodes prepared by various manufacturers. These results can be used to correlate the compositional changes with degradation in battery performance.

TL;DR: A simplified thermogravimetry/gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (TG/GC/MS) system has been developed which completely eliminates the off-line trapping and devolatilization step and the associated sample transfer problems as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: A simplified thermogravimetry/gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (TG/GC/MS) system has been developed which completely eliminates the off-line trapping and devolatilization step and the associated sample transfer problems. There are no valves or transfer lines between the TGA furnace and the GC. The gaseous products generated in the TGA are taken from the immediate vicinity of the sample in the furnace and are cryogenically condensed on the front end of a wall-coated open tubular fused silica capillary chromatographic column. This minimizes undesired gas-phase pyrolysis and/or wall reactions in the furnace environment and results in a condensed off-gas sample which is already prepared for chromatographic separation. In addition to the above advantages in sampling the gaseous materials from the TGA furnace, the fused silica capillary column also provides other benefits. It is well known that glass capillary columns give better separations, shorter analysis times, and better sensitivity and are more inert than conventional packed GC columns. The use of these columns also enables one to change from the TG/MS to the TG/GC/MS configuration in a matter of minutes so that both kinds of data may be acquired to better elucidate the nature of thermally induced reactions. 6 references, 9 figures, 2 tables.

Abstract: Two silicon-containing acid dichlorides, bis(4-chlorocarbonylphenyl)dimethylsilane and bis(4-chlorocarbonylphenyl)diphenylsilane, were synthesized and reacted with 1,3-phenylene diamine, 1,4-phenylene diamine, 4,4′-diaminodiphenyl, 4,4′-diaminodiphenyl methane 4,4′-diaminodiphenyl ether, and 4,4′-diaminodiphenyl sulfone in the preparation of 12 structurally different high molecular weight aromatic polyamides. A low-temperature interfacial polycondensation technique was used. Most of the polyamides formed tough, transparent, flexible films and were characterized by solubility, solution viscosity, infrared spectroscopy (IR), and glass transition temperature (Tg). The thermal behavior of these aramids was studied by dynamic thermogravimetry. The effect of diamine and acid dichloride structure on the aramids properties is also discussed.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of water content on the glass transition temperature of polyacrylamide polymers has been studied by means of Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Thermogravimetry, Thermomechanical Analysis (TMA), and Simultaneous Thermophravimetric Mass Spectrometry (TG-MS).
Abstract: The effect of a plasticizer on the glass transition temperature (Tg) of an amorphous polymer is well documented. However, similar behavior of water in synthetic polymers has only recently been recognized. The effect of water content (or thermal history) on the Tg’s of acrylamide polymers has been studied by means of Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Thermogravimetry (TG), Thermomechanical Analysis (TMA) and Simultaneous Thermogravimetry — Mass Spectrometry (TG-MS). Commercial samples of polyacrylamide and poly-(acrylamide-co-acrylic acid) from several sources were investigated and were found to contain measurable amounts of water. A pronounced plasticizing capability was detected for a relatively low concentration of water. A lowering of the glass transition temperature of the homopolymer by about 70°C was observed with a concentration of less than 8%. A similar effect was also observed for the β transition and a ratio of 0.66 was obtained for Tβ (°K)/ Tg (°K).

TL;DR: In this paper, the thermal dehydration kinetics of crystalline powders of (COOH)2 · 2 H2O were examined by thermogravimetry both at constant and linearly increasing temperatures.
Abstract: The thermal dehydration kinetics of crystalline powders of (COOH)2 · 2 H2O was examined by thermogravimetry both at constant and linearly increasing temperatures. An Avrami-Erofeyev law is found to hold with a possibility that a phase-boundary controlled reaction proceeds simultaneously. This is supported by the particle size effect on the rate constant. The activation energyE for the dehydration is estimated as around 80 kJ mol−1. It is likely that the effects of particle size and temperature onE are compensated by those on the frequency factorA.
