Overview
Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) is a thermoanalytical method that measures the difference in heat required to raise the temperature of a sample compared to a reference, across a range of temperatures. Both the sample and reference are kept at nearly the same temperature during the test. Typically, the temperature of the sample holder in a DSC analysis is programmed to increase linearly over time. The reference sample used should possess a well-defined heat capacity throughout the scanned temperature range. Differential scanning calorimetry is versatile in its applications, enabling the observation of melting and crystallization events, as well as glass transition temperatures (Tg). Additionally, DSC is effective for studying oxidation and other chemical reactions.
