Thermal analysis methods have been introduced into forensic
sciences only in recent times. Though thermoanalytical instruments
have been available commercially for some decades it was not until
the beginning of the seventies that forensic scientists became
interested in them. At that time some state forensic science
laboratories in the Federal Republic of Germany made use of
differential thermal analysis for forensic soil investigations. The
forensic science section of the city police of ZUrich, Switzerland,
applied an instrument (differential thermal analysis and
thermogravimetry) for various purposes. Investigations of fibers by
means of differential scanning calorimetry were reported by the
Centre of Forensic Sciences at Toronto, Canada, and on the
characterization of candle-waxes by differential thermal analysis
by the Metropolitan Police Forensic Science Laboratory, London,
England. Later on some other insti tutions like the
Bundeskriminalamt at Wiesbaden, Germany, or the Home Office Central
Research Establishment at Aldermaston, England, purchased
instruments for one or more of the following thermal analysis
methods: differential thermal analysis or differential scanning
calorimetry, thermogravimetry, and thermomechanical analysis. . But
even now thermoanalytical instruments are not widespread in
forensic science institutes and knowledge of their forensic
potential seems to be limited. In the following chapters we will
give a survey of the most important thermal analysis methods
mentioned above, and on current forensic applications and/or fields
of actual research efforts."
