termogravimetrista

Termogravimetrista is a term of Italian origin that translates to "thermogravimetric analyst" or "thermogravimetric scientist" in English. It refers to an individual who specializes in the technique of thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Thermogravimetric analysis is a type of thermal analysis in which the mass of a sample is measured over time as its temperature is changed. This change in mass can be attributed to physical processes such as dehydration, desolvation, or sublimation, as well as chemical processes such as oxidation or reduction.

A termogravimetrista uses TGA to study the thermal stability of materials, determine the composition of a sample, or investigate the kinetics of decomposition reactions. They are skilled in operating thermogravimetric analyzers, preparing samples, interpreting the resulting data, and understanding the underlying chemical and physical principles of the technique. Their work is crucial in various fields including materials science, chemistry, pharmaceuticals, and food science for quality control, research and development, and failure analysis. The term is primarily used in Italian scientific and academic contexts.
