DSC

Differential Scanning Calorimetry - Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) measures the temperatures and heat flows associated with transitions in materials as a function of time and temperature in a controlled atmosphere.  These measurements provide quantitative and qualitative information about physical and chemical changes that involve endothermic or exothermic processes, or changes in heat capacity.

What types of measurements can I perform with DSC?

• Glass Transitions

• Melting and Boiling Points

• Crystallization time and temperature

• Percent Crystallinity

• Heats of Fusion and Reactions

• Specific Heat

• Oxidative/Thermal Stability

• Rate and Degree of Cure

• Reaction Kinetics

• Purity
