Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) is mainly used to study the thermal properties of materials such as the glass transition temperature (Tg) and melting temperature (Tm) of polymers. Typical differential scanning calorimetry applications include the determination of:

• Glass transition temperature (Tg), Melting temperature (Tm) for the identification or characterisation of polymers or polymer blends
• Degree of cure (Fused Bonded Epoxy (FBE) coatings, polyesters, etc.)
• Decomposition temperature
• Antioxidant  Consumption (OIT)
• Specific Heat Capacity
• Thermal history/processing conditions
• Crystallization temperature, rates, times
• Percent Crystallinity
• Protein Denaturation
