thermal properties

Please find below the list of properties you can measure with the DSC:

Derived Material Properties by DSC

Direct thermal values:

- Glass transition temperature Tg

- Specific heat cp

- Melting temperature Tm

- Crystallization temperature Tc

- Reaction temperature Tr(e.g. curing)

- Endothermalheat of melting Dhm

- Exothermal heat of crystallization Dhc

- Exothermal heat of reaction Dhr

Further information:

- Degree of crystallinity, degree of curing (correlations to mechanics - strength, toughness)

- Distribution of molecular weight (shape of the melting peak)

- Crystallization behavior (influence of nucleation agents)

- Oxidative stability (oxidation induction time, O.I.T. e.g. according to DIN EN 728 or ASTM D 3895)

I hope we could have been of help to you.
