Thermogravimetric analysis involves measuring a sample's change in mass as it is heated and is a very useful technique for analyzing samples that either gain or lose mass during heating. It can be used to study decomposition, reaction equilibrium, pyrolysis, oxidation, filler mass, ash percent, metallic residue, and loss of solvents/water/plasticizer during heating or aging.
