Differential Scanning Calorimetry

Book Description

In this updated and fully revised second edition, the authors provide the newcomer and the experienced practitioner with a balanced and comprehensive insight into all important methods and aspects of Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), including a sound presentation of the theoretical basis of DSC thermal analysis and temperature-modulated DSC (TMDCS). Emphasis is placed on modern evaluation techniques, instrumentation, the underlying measurement principles, metrologically correct calibrations, factors influencing the measurement process, and on the exact interpretation of the results. The information enables the research scientist, the analyst and experienced laboratory staff to choose the most suitable equipment, to apply DSC methods successfully, to interpret the measurement curve, and thus to measure key properties precisely. In addition, the new edition includes improved instrumental techniques such as Tzerotm and StepScantm, new evaluation techniques, more applications, and the latest references.

A practical guide to DSC.......2001-08-30

This book is a useful and clearly written practical guide for a technique that is becoming more important for more people as the years go by. If I do have to get critical, I could say that its price is rather high for its size. Although it contains a few references to modulated DSC I would gladly see a second edition that incorporates that side of the story in detail precisely because this new development is revolutionizing the DSC field as we speak. It will make it even broader than it already is and the new users need a book that allows them a good and easy path in. Another thing that is missing is the subfield of microcalorimetry (on protein solutions etc).
The explanation of deconvolution techniques is rather meager because the authors find fourier transforms (too?!) daunting. Otherwise: a fine book

A good reference book for both beginners and experts.......2000-01-17

This book gave me in depth understanding of each standard test method. It explains the test procedures, the sources of error and how to correct for them. Better written than most ASTM standards but still have room for improvement. It's not a "DSC for Dummies". I still have problem understanding certain parts of this book. Background knowledge of DSC is a needed. If your only source of test procedure is ASTM standards (and you are like me - have problem understanding them), this book will definately help.

Book Description

MTDSC provides a step-change increase in the power of calorimetry to characterize virtually all polymer systems including curing systems, blends and semicrystalline polymers. It enables hidden transitions to be revealed, miscibility to be accurately assessed, and phases and interfaces in complex blends to be quantified. It also enables crystallinity in complex systems to be measured and provides new insights into melting behaviour. All of this is achieved by a simple modification of conventional DSC.

In 1992 a new calorimetric technique was introduced that superimposed a small modulation on top of the conventional linear temperature program typically used in differential scanning calorimetry. This was combined with a method of data analysis that enabled the sample’s response to the linear component of the temperature program to be separated from its response to the periodic component. In this way, for the first time, a signal equivalent to that of conventional DSC was obtained simultaneously with a measure of the sample’s heat capacity from the modulation. The new information this provided sparked a revolution in scanning calorimetry by enabling new insights to be gained into almost all aspects of polymer characteristics.

This book provides both a basic and advanced treatment of the theory of the technique followed by a detailed exposition of its application to reacting systems, blends and semicrystalline polymers by the leaders in all of these fields. It is an essential text for anybody interested in calorimetry or polymer characterization, especially if they have found that conventional DSC cannot help them with their problems.

Description:
Because the solubility of ampicillin anhydrate is quite different from that of ampicillin trihydrate, four basic techniques were employed to rapidly and precisely quantify mixtures of ampicillin anhydrate and ampicillin trihydrate. Using thermogravimetry and oven heating in a porcelain crucible, their ratio in mixtures was precisely quantified according to weight loss of water from ampicillin trihydrate in the mixtures. The ratio was also quantified based on the enthalpy change of water in ampicillin trihydrate and the phase change of ampicillin itself as measured by a differential scanning calorimeter. The X-ray diffraction intensity ratio of the mixtures at two specific angles was shown to be proportional to the ratio of the mixtures. Accordingly, a linear relationship between a change of physicochemical properties and a selected ratio of the mixtures was established. Comparison of the sample used, the R^2 value from linear curve-fitting, the maximum error and maximum measure limit in different techniques is also presented.

Description:
In order to understand the influence of organic components on the behavior of municipal solid waste incinerator bottom ash, samples from five French incinerators have been analyzed and compared. Biological and physico-chemical experiments were coupled with a view to developing a new rapid assessment method of bottom ash quality. Bottom ash had different total organic carbon contents ranging from 8.8gkg^-^1 to 37.4gkg^-^1. A part of this organic carbon can be leached into the environment or provide a substrate for microbial activity. Samples showed really different behaviors regarding these processes. Comparative results of leaching tests and biodegradation experiments showed a positive correlation between dissolved organic carbon and microbial activity. However, quantities of biodegraded or leached carbon are not representative of the samples' total organic carbon content. Thermal analyses in oxidizing conditions have revealed the presence of two fractions of organic components, showing different thermal behaviors. The associated mass losses were measured and compared to dissolved organic carbon. One of the two fractions can be directly linked to the leachable and easily biodegradable organic matter fraction. Calorimetric test is then presented as a novel analysis method that allows to provide rapid and global information concerning the characteristics of organic matter in bottom ash and its possible short and long-term evolution.

From the author: Crystallinities of films of copolymers of chlorotrifluoroethylene with 0 to 4% vinylidene fluoride, different molecular weights and thermal histories were calculated from differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and density measurements. The crystallinities for these films range between 16 to 58%, 11 to 71%, and 13 to 77% as determined by DSC, XRD, and density, respectively. Although the numerical value of the DSC, XRD, and densit crystallinities obtained by each of the techniques are different, they correlat well with each other. The primary source of error in DSC is the uncertainty in drawing the baseline for separating the heat of fusion and heat of crystallization. In XRD, the ambiguities in the separation of the amorphous and crystalline peaks reduce the precision of the results. Calculation of crystallinity from density values requires that the distribution of the [VF.sub.2] between the amorphous and crystalline regions be known. In addition, the density technique is not sensitive to variations in the crystalline and amorphous densities.

From the author: Allylester prepolymers were synthesized by transesterification, and curing kinetics of alumina trihydrate reinforced allylester resins was studied by means of a differential scanning calorimetry dynamic experiment. The activation energies and the frequency factors of the reinforced allylester prepolymers were estimated by means of Ozawa's and Kissinger's methods. The values determined from the Ozawa method are higher than those from the Kissinger method. The peak exotherm temperature of reinforced allylester resin was shifted to a lower temperature as the concentration of curing agent increased. The peak exotherm temperature of reinforced allylester resin was, however, shifted to a higher temperature as the content of alumina trihydrate increased. In the case of the dynamic experiment, both the activation energy and the frequency factor decreased as the concentration of curing agent was increased. Meanwhile, there exist minimum values of both the activation energy and the frequency factor with varying contents of alumina trihydrate.

Description:
Contamination of chemicals or reaction mixtures with iron or stainless steel is likely to take place during chemical processing. If energetic and thermally unstable chemicals are involved in a manufacturing process, contamination with iron or stainless steel can impact the decomposition characteristics of these chemicals and, subsequently, the safety of the processes, and should be investigated. The goal of this project was to undertake a systematic approach to study the impact of iron or stainless steel contamination on the decomposition characteristics of different chemical classes. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used to study the decomposition reaction by testing each chemical pure, and in mixtures with iron and stainless steel. The following classes of energetic chemicals were investigated: nitrobenzenes, tetrazoles, hydrazines, hydroxylamines and oximes, sulfonic acid derivatives and monomers. The following non-energetic groups were investigated for contributing effects: halogens, hydroxyls, amines, amides, nitriles, sulfonic acid esters, carbonyl halides and salts of hydrochloric acid. Based on the results obtained, conclusions were drawn regarding the sensitivity of the decomposition reaction to contamination with iron and stainless steel for the chemical classes listed above. It was demonstrated that the most sensitive classes are hydrazines and hydroxylamines/oximes. Contamination of these chemicals with iron or stainless steel not only destabilizes them, leading to decomposition at significantly lower temperatures, but also sometimes causes increased severity of the decomposition. The sensitivity of nitrobenzenes to contamination with iron or stainless steel depended upon the presence of other contributing groups: the presence of such groups as acid chlorides or chlorine/fluorine significantly increased the effect of contamination on decomposition characteristics of nitrobenzenes. The decomposition of sulfonic acid derivatives and tetrazoles was not impacted by presence of iron or stainless steel.

Book Description

It is now possible to determine concentrations of trace constituents and pollutants in the lower atmosphere from space, a development which heralds a new era for tropospheric chemistry.

The authors describe how to develop and validate methods for determining tropospheric trace constituents from satellite data, to encourage the use of these data by atmospheric chemists, and to explore the undoubted synergism which will develop between satellite and ground-based measurements, and will eventually give rise to a permanent observation system for the troposphere. The book comprises several comprehensive overviews, prepared by acknowledged experts in the field, together with a series of individual reports from investigators whose work represents the cutting edge of the subject. A variety of results, giving global distributions of several species and their modelling are reported. Most results stem from ESA satellite data, but there is also an account of the North American work in this field which has mainly concentrated on global distributions of ozone.

It is fair to say that the field, as it develops, will revolutionize the way in which atmospheric chemistry is done. This timely book provides a good introduction for anyone with an interest in the future of the troposphere.
