MAIN APPLICATIONS OF DSC:

1. 1. Determination of thermal transitions such as:

   • Glass transition
   • Melting
   • Crystallisation
   • Oxidation

2. 2. Evaluation of thermal stability, purity, and phase transitions.

3. 3. Measurement of enthalpy change (J/g) and heat capacity (Cp).

4. 4. TM-DSC mode applications:

   • Separation of overlapping transitions (reversible/non-reversible).
   • Accurate glass transition (Tg) measurement.
   • Precise Cp determination and analysis of thermal aging behaviour.
   • Study of relaxation, curing, and crystallization kinetics.
