FLASH TALK: TGA and FTIR Coupled with Mass Spectrometry for Evolved Gas Analysis

In this Flash Talk presentation, Jordan Meyet, assistant research professor specializing in Molecular Spectroscopy at the Materials Research Institute (MRI), Penn State, speaks on the topic, "TGA and FTIR Coupled with Mass Spectrometry for Evolved Gas Analysis.” The presentation covers Evolved Gas Analysis (EGA) using mass spectrometry combined with TGA or in situ FTIR offers unique insights into materials under relevant conditions, helping to understand and interpret decomposition process and/or reactivity of material. While the additional information provided by mass spectrometry is useful for material characterization, there is limitation to what gaseous products can be analyzed and what information is provided. This powerful approach requires prior knowledges of the potential gas involved and their fragmentation patterns to correlate the gas evolved to observed chemical changes. The FLASH TALK series showcases concise, high‑impact presentations on the analytical capabilities of the Materials Characterization Lab (MCL) at Penn State. The first set of talks premiered at Materials Day 2025 in the Materials Research Institute. To learn more about MCL capabilities, please contact [email protected].
