The urgent need for a clear and practice-oriented guide to differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is fulfilled this book. The authors provide the newcomerand the experienced practitioner with balanced and comprehensive insight intoall important DSC methods, including a sound presentation of the theoretical basis of DSC and TMDSC measurements. Emphasis is layed on instrumentation, theunderlying measurement principles, metrologically correct calibrations, factors influencing the measurement process, and on the exact interpretation of theresults. Mastering the material enables the research scientist, the analyst and experienced laboratory staff members to apply DSC methods successfully and to measure respective properties correctly. INDICE: Introduction.- Types of Differential Scanning Calorimeters and Modes of Operation.- Theoretical Fundamentals of Differential Scanning Calorimeters.- Calibration of Differential Scanning Calorimeters.- DSC Curces and Further Evaluation.- Applications of Differential Scanning Calorimetry.- Evaluation of the Performance of a Differential Scanning Calorimeter.
