Abstract
The purpose of this study is to determine how certain model compounds, representing in this case ink and typical coating components, interact in increasingly complex mixtures by evaluating their response to thermal treatment. Such materials are also used in many other chemical and industrial products and processes other than printing, such that the mechanisms are universally applicable. Thermogravimetric analysis (TgA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) are techniques considered here as potential tools for the analysis. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometry is used to characterize the model compounds and to provide a characteristic of the change undergone by some model compound mixtures after thermal exposure in TgA. To visualize the thermal data so as to combine the TgA and DSC measurements into a single comprehensible observation, a representation has been devised for the specific case of material evaporation and the respective observed specific evaporation energy, whereby the specific...
