AZoM talks to Juergen Blumm, Managing Director of Sales, Service and Marketing at NETZSCH, about the need for Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) in the thermal analysis of polymers. With NETZSCH ...

Semicrystalline polymers are known to have a rigid amorphous fraction (RAF), which is present at the interface of the amorphous phase and crystal due to the immobilization of a polymer chain caused by ...

Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is a thermal analyses method for determining how much energy a sample absorbs or emits as heat capacity. The phase diagram, entropy, enthalpy, and thermal ...

It is impossible to discuss the huge increase in polymer production without recognizing the impact that it has had on the environment. On the other hand, using plastics in packaging and transportation ...

A technique first described back in the 1960’s, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), is still a mainstay of drug-polymer miscibility analysis in most pharmaceutical research groups. Now, a new ...
