Thermal Analysis Techniques (TAT101) is part of the material characterization series, focusing on four key methods used to evaluate polymers: Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA), and Thermo-Mechanical Analysis (TMA). The course combines lecture-discussions with a hands-on session, allowing participants to explore how each technique works and how thermal data is used to assess material behavior and stability.
☑ Learn the principles and applications of DSC, TGA, DTA, and TMA
☑ Identify thermal properties relevant to polymer characterization
☑ Interpret thermal curves and data for material evaluation
☑ Gain practical experience through hands-on demonstration
Engr. Marlon Llana has a B.S. and a Masters’ degree in Chemical Engineering from Mapua Institute of Technology and is a PhD Candidate for Material Science and Engineering. He has over 20 years of experience in the semiconductor industry in the field of Quality, R&D, Laboratory Operation, Electro-plating, Failure Analysis, and Reliability having worked for Philips Semiconductors, SunPower Mfg. Ltd., International Rectifier, and DECA Technologies. He is a former faculty at Malayan College Laguna, Lyceum of the Philippines Laguna, and Colegio de San Juan de Letran having taught for more than 14 years. He is also a technical assessor of DTI-PAB for ISO/IEC17025 and is a member of the DTI Technical committee for nanotechnology.
