Summary:Molybdenum trioxide (MoO.sub.3) has been studied by four thermal analysis techniques. The as-synthesized material has hexagonal structure (h-MoO.sub.3). The phase change in the material studied using four thermal analysis techniques: thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermomechanical analysis, and dynamic mechanical analysis. Crystallography phase transformation of h-MoO.sub.3 was found between 675 and 701 K by these techniques. DSC technique provided the highest detection sensitivity at about 690 K since the metastable monoclinic phase ([beta]-MoO.sub.3) transformation could be observed before reaching the stable orthorhombic ([alpha]-MoO.sub.3) phase. The crystallographic phases of particles and morphologies were confirmed by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy techniques. The h-MoO.sub.3 was proposed as a standard sample to validate the operations of the thermal analysis instruments.
