What is a Differential Scanning Calorimeter?

Purpose of DSC

A Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) measures how materials respond to temperature changes. It identifies key properties like melting point, glass transition temperature (Tg), and phase transitions, making it a valuable tool for material testing and development.

How DSC Works

DSC measures heat flow differences between a sample and a reference under the same conditions. These differences reveal energy changes in the material, like melting or crystallization.

Applications of DSC

DSC is widely used in industries like polymer development, pharmaceuticals, and quality control. It helps researchers understand material behavior, improve processes, and ensure product reliability.

How Does a DSC Work?

Heat Flow Measurement
A Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) measures heat flow differences between a sample and a reference. Both are exposed to the same temperature, and these differences show the material's thermal properties.

Temperature Control
The DSC precisely adjusts the heating or cooling rate. It tracks energy changes during phase transitions like melting or crystallization.

Data Analysis
The heat flow data is displayed as a curve, showing key points such as glass transition temperature (Tg) and oxidation induction time (OIT). This helps researchers study materials and improve quality.
