Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC)
Basics
![](/fileadmin/_processed_/csm_DSC_example_b551d7ec7c.png)
- Thermal characterization technique for determination of enthalpy changes (endo- and exothermic) due to changes in physical and chemical properties of a material as a function of temperature or time
- Samples with known masses are repeated heated and cooled, changes in heat flow can be converted into Cp
- Detection of transitions such as melts, glass transitions, phase changes, and curing
