I am going to find the thermal properties of polymer nanocomposite. For that, I have planned to conduct THERMOGRAVIMETRIC ANALYSIS(TGA). Now, my question is, can I get DTG curve from TGA curve?
Dear Kulsoom Koser,
Yes. You can easily get the DTG curve by differentiating the TG curve.
Softwares like origin are suitable for this purpose.

Also, depending on the brand of your TGA, some of them have also their own software. For example, TA Instruments has a free-to-use software called "TA Universal Analysis" in which you can open TGA, DMTA and DSC files obtained from a TA instrument. I am mentioning this because each of those files, for example in the case of TGA, has the weight vs temperature, but also the derivative!
DTG is the derivative curve obtained from TGA. It is provided by the software that you used to collect the measurement
