Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
The urgent need for a clear and practice-oriented guide to differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is resolved by this book. The authors provide the newcomer and the experienced practitioner with a comprehensive insight into all important DSC methods, including a sound presentation of the theoretical basis of DSC calorimeters. Emphasis is layed on instrumentation, the underlying measurement principles, metrologically correct calibrations, factors influencing the measurement process, and on the exact interpretation of the results. The information given enables the research scientist, the analyst and experienced laboratory staff to apply DSC methods successfully and to measure correctly thermodynamic values.
Includes bibliographical references (p. [211]-216) and index.
Introduction -- Types of differential scanning calorimeters -- Theoretical fundamentals of differential scanning calorimeters -- Calibration of differential scanning calorimeters -- The dsc curve -- Applications of differential scanning calorimetry -- Evaluation of the performance of a differential scanning calorimeter.
