Thermal Analysis of Primers and Coatings as a Prediction Model, 2005 PLACE Conference
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 poly[ethylenimine], 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).
