| Applications |
Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) is the quantitative measurement of phase transitions used to determine transition temperatures, phase composition of materials e.g. glass transition in polymers, glass/crystal fractions, purity determination in pharmaceuticals
Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) can be used to determine the thermodynamics and kinetics of processes involving weight loss such as corrosion and oxidation.
The technique is used for monitoring of phase changes in high temperature materials such as metals and ceramics. |
