Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) of Various Epoxy Composite Formulations

Abstract

Determined the thermal decomposition process of epoxy samples developed by the Florida Agriculture and Mechanical University/Florida State University (FAMU/FSU) Department of Engineering on SSG 3.0.6 containing a variety of additives including Polyhedral Oligomeric Sil Sesquioxanes (POSS) and Carbon Nanotubes. Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) was used to obtain data for decomposition in air. The data will be used to refine formulations of the additives incorporated into the epoxy.
