MTDSC provides a step-change increase in the power of
calorimetry to characterize virtually all polymer systems including
curing systems, blends and semicrystalline polymers. It enables
hidden transitions to be revealed, miscibility to be accurately
assessed, and phases and interfaces in complex blends to be
quantified. It also enables crystallinity in complex systems to be
measured and provides new insights into melting behaviour. All of
this is achieved by a simple modification of conventional DSC.
In 1992 a new calorimetric technique was introduced that
superimposed a small modulation on top of the conventional linear
temperature program typically used in differential scanning
calorimetry. This was combined with a method of data analysis that
enabled the sample s response to the linear component of the
temperature program to be separated from its response to the
periodic component. In this way, for the first time, a signal
equivalent to that of conventional DSC was obtained simultaneously
with a measure of the sample s heat capacity from the modulation.
The new information this provided sparked a revolution in scanning
calorimetry by enabling new insights to be gained into almost all
aspects of polymer characteristics.
This book provides both a basic and advanced treatment of the
theory of the technique followed by a detailed exposition of its
application to reacting systems, blends and semicrystalline
polymers by the leaders in all of these fields. It is an essential
text for anybody interested in calorimetry or polymer
characterization, especially if they have found that conventional
DSC cannot help them with their problems.
