Heated Stories: What DSC Reveals About Polymers

Thermal transitions. Molecular mobility. Crosslinking dynamics.

Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) is a cornerstone technique in polymer analysis — providing quantitative insight into enthalpic changes associated with physical and chemical transitions. In this webinar, we deep-dive into the interpretation of DSC data across a range of polymer systems, exploring how thermal events reflect microstructural and phase-related behavior.

Key topics include:

  • Glass transition (Tg): Interpreting changes in heat capacity and their link to molecular mobility and amorphous content
  • Melting and crystallization: Determination of melting point, enthalpy, crystallinity and crystallization behavior
  • Curing kinetics: Monitoring exothermic reactions in thermosets and composite matrices
  • Oxidative stability and thermal degradation: Insights into OOT and OIT
  • Method development strategies: Optimal sample preparation, pan selection, and heating/cooling protocols for polymer-specific workflows

Real-world application examples will demonstrate how DSC is used in polymer formulation, quality assurance, and regulatory testing (e.g., ASTM D3418, ISO 11357).
