A DSC provides important information that can be used to characterize materials, design products, select the best materials for a specific application, predict product performance, optimize processing conditions, and improve final product quality.
Specific measurements that this model of DSC can perform include:
- Glass transitions
- Melting points
- Crystallization time and temperature
- Percent crystallinity
- Heats of fusion and reactions
- Specific heat and heat capacity
- Oxidative stability
- Rate of cure
- Degree of cure
- Reaction kinetics
- Purity
- Thermal stability
