Abstract:
The DSC (Differential scanning Calorimetry) is used to study the different useful temperature like, glass transition temperature and crystallization temperature and phase transformations occurring in the material, since then lot of modifications in the instrument has been done. Calorimetric method records the exothermic, endothermic processes, melting and crystallization temperature etc. Second order transitions like glass transition temperature are also readly revealed by this method .In addition to this, different kinetic parameters like, activation energy, heat absorbed during glass transition, heat evolved during crystallization, dimensionality of growth .specific heat etc. can also be evaluated by this method .thus, the thermal analysis using DSC give us vary important information about thermal properties of a material.
Keywords: DSC, Thermal Properties, glass transition temperature.
