Thermal analysis involves a dynamic phenomenological approach to the study of materials by observing the response of these materials to a change in temperature. This approach differs fundamentally from static methods of analysis, such as structural or chemical analyses, which rely on direct observations of a basic property of material (e.g. crystal structure or chemical composition) at a well-defined set of conditions (e.g. temperature, pressure, humidity). Clay minerals are highly susceptible to significant compositional changes in response to subtle changes in conditions. For example, changes in the fugacity of water affect the stability of interlayer H2O in a clay mineral (see below). Therefore, care must be taken that all experimental conditions are known with accuracy and precision
