Thermal methods of analysis in the study of polymers

The book entitled "Thermal methods of analysis in the study of polymers" is structured in 3 chapters. Chapter one is entitled differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) in which we included introduction, elements of thermodynamics in DSC, the basics of differential scanning calorimetry, Purity Determination of Low-Molecular-Mass Compounds by DSC, Calibration of Differential Scanning Calorimeters, Measurement of Heat Capacity, Phase Transitions in Amorphous and Crystalline Polymers, Fibers, Films, Thermosets, Differential Photocalorimetry (DPC), Fast-Scan DSC, Modulated Temperature Differential Scanning Calorimetry (MTDSC), How to Perform DSC Measurements and Instrumentation. The second chapter presents thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and chapter 3 presents thermal analysis methods applied to polymers.
