The aim of this proposal is to replace our old thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) by a new one and upgrade the apparatus by addition of a mass spectrometer (MS). This TGA-MS will be used for materials characterization in the Chemistry Department of UQAM and at INRS-EMT. Firstly, a new TGA is urgently needed in our department because the current old one has almost reached the end of its useful lifetime. Secondly, the addition of a MS to the TGA will provide us with an invaluable tool for materials characterization. The TGA-MS technique is required for various research programs/projects in the area of energy conversion, materials science, polymer science and biomaterials. The requested TGA-MS system can be used for:i) the characterization of modified carbons, metals and metal oxides; ii) gas analysis of waste gas from carbon fiber recovery pyrolysis; iii) studies dealing with the preparation of coatings for wirebonds prepared by catalytic polymerization and iv) the synthesis of hybrid materials for energy applications and detection of emerging pollutants in water. Beyond its important impact on the specific research programs described below, acquisition of this TGA-MS system will be essential for training efforts in our two institutions. Based on the past utilization of our current TGA, a minimum of 25 HQPs will be using the TGA-MS system every year.

本方案的目的是用新的热重分析仪（TGA）取代旧的热重分析仪（TGA），并通过增加质谱仪（MS）来升级仪器。该热重质谱将用于UQAM化学系和INRS-EMT的材料表征。首先，我们部门急需一台新的TGA，因为现有的旧TGA已经接近使用寿命。其次，在TGA中添加质谱将为我们提供材料表征的宝贵工具。在能量转换、材料科学、高分子科学和生物材料领域的各种研究计划/项目都需要TGA-MS技术。所要求的TGA-MS系统可用于：i)改性碳、金属和金属氧化物的表征；Ii)碳纤维回收热解废气气体分析；Iii)研究通过催化聚合制备的线键涂层的制备；iv)用于能源应用的混合材料的合成和水中新出现污染物的检测。除了对下文所述的具体研究项目产生重要影响外，该TGA-MS系统的采购将对我们两所机构的培训工作至关重要。根据我们目前TGA过去的使用情况，每年至少有25个hqp将使用TGA- ms系统。
