  1. Differential ScanningCalorimetry Stephen Collins

  2. Definitions • A calorimeter measures the heat into or out of a sample. • A differential calorimete r measures the heat of a sample relative to a reference. • A differential scanning calorimeter does all of the above and heats the sample with a linear temperature ramp. • Endothermic heat flows into the sample. • Exothermic heat flows out of the sample. Technical Group Talk

  3. DSC: The Technique • Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) measures the temperatures and heat flows associated with transitions in materials as a function of time and temperature in a controlled atmosphere. • These measurements provide quantitative and qualitative information about physical and chemical changes that endothermic exothermic processes changes involve or , or in heat capacity . Technical Group Talk

  4. Conventional DSC Empty Sample Metal 1 Metal 2 Metal 1 Metal 2 Sample Temperature Reference Temperature Temperature Difference = Heat Flow • A “linear” heating profile even for isothermal methods Technical Group Talk

  5. What can DSC measure? • Glass transitions • Melting and boiling points • Crystallisation time and temperature • Percent crystallinity • Heats of fusion and reactions • Specific heat capacity • Oxidative/thermal stability • Rate and degree of cure • Reaction kinetics • Purity Technical Group Talk

  10. DSC: Main Sources of Errors • Calibration • Contamination • Sample preparation – how sample is loaded into a pan • Residual solvents and moisture. • Thermal lag • Heating/Cooling rates • Sample mass • Processing errors Technical Group Talk

  12. Other DSC Techniques • Hyper-DSC • Based on principle that high heating rates give large broad transitions. • Heating rates typically 400-500oC/min • Need very small sample sizes (~nanograms) • Good for: • A quick overview of new sample • Picking out minute transition • Poor for: • Accuracy: transitions can be shifted by as much as 40oC • Repeatabiliy: Very sensitive to thermal lag. Technical Group Talk

  13. Other DSC Techniques • Modulated DSC • Composite heating profile: • Determines heat capacity and separates heat flow into that due to reversible and non-reversible events. Typicaly: Heating rates: 0 - 50C Modulation: Period: 60 second Amplitude: +/-10C Technical Group Talk

  14. Modulated DSC Benefits • Increased Sensitivity for Detecting Weak (Glass) Transitions • Eliminates baseline curvature and drift • Increased Resolution Without Loss of Sensitivity • Two heating rates (average and instantaneous) • Ability to Separate Complex Thermal Events and Transitions Into Their Heat Capacity and Kinetic Components • Ability to Measure Heat Capacity (Structure) Changes During Reactions and Under Isothermal Conditions Downside • Slow data collection Technical Group Talk
