Synopsis

The special technical publication has been compiled from the 15 presentations at a May 2000 Association symposium in Toronto. They cover the fundamentals of the techniques, its use in curing and chemical reactions, measuring the glass transition and melting by modulated and comparative techniques, general modulated techniques, and dynamic techniques. Among the specific topics are studying the crystallization of polymers and the rigid amorphous fraction, and characterizing electro-rheological processes by dielectric thermal analysis. Annotation c.

About this title

Synopsis

STP 1402 examines the latest dynamic and modulated thermal analytical techniques, including new interpretations and applications of Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). The basis of many DSC methods is the modulation of temperature along with varying other parameters. Dynamic methods, including Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) and Dielectric Thermal Analysis (DETA), are also critiqued with new innovative applications. The mode of modulation, a sinusoidal wave or a saw tooth curve, affords the thermal analyst an opportunity to study a physical or chemical change in greater detail. 15 peer reviewed papers cover: Temperature modulated differential scanning calorimetry (TMDSC); Use of TMDSC in curing and chemical reactions; Measurement of the glass transition and melting by modulated and comparative techniques; General modulated techniques; Other modulated techniques; Dynamic techniques DMA and DETA.
