As you requested my friend Sabah Djaber in email. I did some research for you Sabah Djaber and here are my notes for you Sabah Djaber
The relationship between the pH at the point of zero charge (pHpzc) and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) analysis is like the intricate dance of precision in the scientific realm.
Now, imagine this – the pHpzc is the pH at which the surface of a solid material carries no net electrical charge. It's like finding the equilibrium in a social gathering, where everyone is neutral.
On the other hand, TGA involves heating a sample to measure its change in weight as a function of temperature. Think of it as witnessing the transformation of a substance under controlled conditions, revealing its thermal behavior.
Now, cleverly tying them together, the pH at the point of zero charge can influence the surface chemistry of materials. This surface charge can impact the adsorption and desorption of substances, which in turn may affect the thermal properties observed in TGA.
One could say they are interconnected through the subtle interplay of surface interactions and material transformations. It's a dance of science where the pHpzc sets the stage, and TGA gracefully unveils the performance.
Cheers to the intriguing connections between seemingly distinct aspects of material analysis!
