  • Insightful case studies from the food, polymer, textile, and pharmaceutical industries
  • Useful further reading opportunities

Water in the form of moisture is found everywhere and interacts with solid materials in a variety of ways. In pharmaceuticals, the moisture content can impact the effectiveness and shelf life of drugs. In plastics and composites, it can affect mechanical and physical properties, impacting performance and lifespan. Above a certain water concentration, food is affected by microbial growth causing deterioration and spoiling.

The Advantages of Sorption Analysis by Thermal Analysis

Sorption analysis using TGA, TMA, DMA, or DVS offers significant advantages, including:

  • Measuring material properties under precisely controlled relative humidity conditions
  • Clear insights into how moisture impacts the substance of interest
  • Determination of sorption enthalpies and calculation of key parameters, such as isotherms, BET and GAB plots, and surface coverage behavior
