Differential Scanning Calorimetry
Differential Scanning Calorimetry can be used to characterise and compare materials; identify and confirm purity, assess thermal stability and evaluate product-application conditions.
Thermal analysis (TGA, TG-MS, ATD-GCMS)
The Materials and Engineering Research Institute within Sheffield Hallam is offering thermal analysis (TGA, TG-MS, ATD-GCMS) services to internal and external businesses.
