Thermogravimetric Analyzer with Evolved Gas Analysis
About This Grant
We seek funding to acquire a Thermogravimetric Analyzer (TGA) with Evolved Gas Analysis (EGA) capabilities via selective sampling for GC-MS, to advance materials research and STEM education at the University of North Carolina at Pembroke (UNCP). Currently, UNCP lacks a TGA system, limiting capacity for advanced thermal analysis, reducing research productivity, and requiring reliance on external collaborations that introduce cost and delays. UNCP is a primarily undergraduate institution serving a large student population in a resource-limited region. The proposed instrument will directly support three faculty-led research initiatives—including projects led by early-career investigators—focused on biomass pyrolysis, plastics recycling, and the development of polymeric adsorbents for environmental remediation. The TGA-EGA system will enable precise measurements of decomposition temperatures, small molecule desorption profiles, and trace impurities, which are essential for characterizing complex materials. The instrument will also be integrated into upper-level chemistry courses, including organic, analytical, instrumental, and physical chemistry, providing hands-on training in thermal analysis and macromolecular characterization. These experiences will enhance preparation for careers in STEM and graduate study, strengthening the scientific workforce. The TGA-EGA will be housed in a shared research facility with broad access across departments, supporting interdisciplinary collaboration and student-faculty research. Its acquisition aligns with institutional goals to expand research infrastructure and increase access to advanced instrumentation.
