Measuring Polymer Crystallinity with DSC

Description

Differential scanning calorimetry, or DSC, is a method used to measure the thermal properties of materials. It helps scientists see how much heat a material stores as it warms up. This heat storage is called heat capacity.

DSC also measures the heat absorbed or released during chemical reactions ...

Transcript

Differential scanning calorimetry or DSC is an important measurement technique used to characterize the thermal properties of materials especially polymers. The DSC measurement set-up consists of separate sample and reference pans, each with identical temperature sensors. The temperature of the sample pan containing the sample of interest and th...
