PTG Eindhoven donates DSC to chemical Engineering and Chemistry bachelor education
January 24, 2024
The Polymer Technology Group recently donated one of its Differential Scanning Calorimeters to the students lab at our department to use for educational purposes
A DSC is used to obtain information from materials based on the response to change in temperature. It can reveal phase changes like melting, crystallization or a glass transition, which can help to identify polymers or provide compositional information (particularly when combined with other analytical techniques). The data can also be used to determine a material’s initial processing parameters. Furthermore, various kinetic events can be analyzed, such as curing or oxidation reactions.
