DSC — heat flow and transitions
Investigate glass transition, melting, crystallisation and agreed enthalpy.
Thermal Analysis: DSC, TGA & DMA
Choose the method by the property you need to understand. Heat flow, mass change and mechanical response provide different evidence.
TGA — mass change and residue
Measure mass loss against temperature or time and evaluate agreed stages and residue.
DMA — viscoelastic response
Evaluate storage modulus, loss modulus and damping with agreed fixtures and programmes.
Prepare the right scope
Provide material, thermal history, temperature range, atmosphere and the comparison or decision needed. Method-specific preparation and timing are confirmed before testing.
