The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Security Technologies Group (STG), in the Materials Measurement Science Division (MMSD), is involved with synthesis and characterization of various polymeric fibers, films, and composites, including those incorporating nanoparticles into their structure. The Division requires a thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) for performing thermal measurements on polymeric samples. The TGA measures the mass of a material as it is heated in a furnace. In general, the TGA has an operating temperature range, the ability to hold a constant temperature, ability to ramp temperature, and the ability to use different gas environments. The required TGA will support several projects in the protective materials program and is critical for meeting milestones in this program, as well as work with other operating units (OU) and external collaborations that require thermal decomposition measurements.
