Thermal Analysis of Primers and Coatings as a Prediction Model
Duane R. Hammond · 2005
Thermal characteristics of primers and coatings can be a useful prediction model on how the material will perform under heat exposure from manufacturing processes and product applications. Two chemistries, poly(vinyl alcohol) and polyethylenimine, have been analyzed using the techniques of Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), TGA coupled to a Mass Spectrometer (TG/MS), TGA coupled to a Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer (TG/IR), Modulated Differential Scanning Calorimetry (MDSC), Dynamic Mechanical Thermal Analysis (DMTA).
