The thermal analysis laboratory or the TA lab. The lab is under the direction of Dr. Wei-Ping Pan . It has been around for nearly a decade, providing valuable assistance to industry and academia alike.
Thermal analysis is essentially a materials characterization technique.
It provides information on thermal stability, oxidative stability and thermal history of the material based on studies related to Weight loss, heat evolved and dimensional changes. The technique has myriad applications in quality control. Though primarily interested in energy research, the talents of the people here expand into the field of polymeric materials, catalyst studies and much more.
