Differential scanning calorimetry allows a thermal analysis of heat transfer processes in materials.
- melting and crystallization behavior:
- degree and kinetics of crystallization
- glass transition temperature Tg
- specific heat capacity Cp
- reaction enthalpies:
- degree of crosslinking and kinetics
- thermo-oxidative Degradation (in O2 or N2 atmosphere, T: -150°C - 700°C, optional UV source, autosampler)
- thermal stability
