Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is the most frequently used thermal analysis technique alongside TGA, TMA and DMA. DSC is used to measure enthalpy changes due to changes in the physical and chemical properties of a material as a function of temperature or time. The method allows you to identify and characterise materials. Differential scanning calorimetry is fast, very sensitive and easy to use. In this Webinar, we will discuss the basic principles of DSC and present some interesting applications.
