Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is a technique used to study what happens to polymers when they're heated. By studying the thermal transitions occurring within the material information is acquired on the nature of the polymer.
Applications include:
|
Melting temperature
Glass transition temperature of polymers
Crystallinity of polymers
Polymorphism of polymers
Purity
Heat capacity
Curing reactions
Reaction kinetics
Decomposition
