Objectives of the Course
Instrumental analysis techniques constitute the main part of basic education in the field of quality control and research and development in various industries. This course is specially designed for industrial chemists from the theoretical and applied analytical perspective of advanced thermal analysis methods. Thermal analysis methods are recommended to bring universal solutions to many analytical problems encountered in various fields such as metallurgy, dye-ink science, ceramics, mineralogy, food technology, inorganic and organic chemistry, polymer chemistry and geochemistry. In this course, methods such as TG / DTG, DTA, DSC, TMA, TPO and TPR will be explained with interesting examples.
