Differential Scanning Calorimeters
Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) investigates how the heat uptake or release of a sample material changes in comparison to a reference material when both are subjected to a controlled temperature change.
Typical DSC Results
∙Melting temperature and enthalpy
∙Crystallization temperature and enthalpy
∙Specific heat capacity CP
∙Solid-liquid ratio (solid-fat content)
∙Polymorphism
∙Solid-solid transitions
∙Liquid crystal transition
∙Degree of crystallinity
∙Curing, degree of cure
∙Glass transition
∙Oxidative stability OIT
∙Aging
∙Purity
∙Decomposition onset
