With support from the Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program, the Department of Chemistry at James Madison University will acquire a thermal gravimetric analyzer - mass spectrometer (TGA-MS) instrument. This equipment will enhance research in a number of areas including a) investigating the kinetics of decomposition reactions that occur on volatile organic compounds catalysts; b) studying the stability andpotential catalytic activity of novel framework phosphates and phosphonates; and c) determining the mechanism for the decomposition of precursors during the formation of thin films with low and high dielectric constants. The TGA-MS instrument will enable researchers to conduct high-quality research that will increase the knowledge base in several areas of materials chemistry that could lead to the development of better catalysts. The instrument will also play an important role in the design and development of new project-based laboratories that emulate the research experience in traditional classroom environments.

在重大研究仪器（MRI）计划的支持下，詹姆斯麦迪逊大学化学系将购买一台热重分析-质谱仪（TGA-MS）仪器。该设备将加强多个领域的研究，包括a）研究挥发性有机化合物催化剂上发生的分解反应的动力学； b) 研究新型骨架磷酸酯和膦酸酯的稳定性和潜在催化活性； c) 确定低介电常数和高介电常数薄膜形成过程中前体分解的机制。 TGA-MS 仪器将使研究人员能够进行高质量的研究，从而增加材料化学多个领域的知识库，从而开发出更好的催化剂。 该仪器还将在模拟传统课堂环境研究经验的新项目实验室的设计和开发中发挥重要作用。
