MSE-S310 Lecture 3
Differential Scanning Calorimetry
(DSC)
1
Recap
In thermogravimetric analysis, the change in weight in relation to a
change in temperature in a controlled environment is measured.
Heat is used in TGA to force reactions and physical changes in
materials.A thermocouple is used to accurately control and measure
the temperature within the oven.
A TGA analysis is performed by gradually raising the temperature
of a sample in a furnace as its weight is measured on an analytical
balance that remains outside of the furnace.

Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC)
Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) is a thermal analysis
technique in which the heat flow into or out of a sample is measured as
a function of temperature or time, while the sample is exposed to a
controlled temperature program.
It is a very powerful technique to evaluate material properties such as
glass transition temperature, melting, crystallization, specific heat
capacity, cure process, purity, oxidation behavior, and thermal stability.
3
PRINCIPLE
When a sample undergoes a physical transformation such as a phase
transition, more or less heat will need to flow to it than to a reference to
maintain both at the same temperature whether more or less heat must
flow to the sample depends on whether the process is endothermic or
exothermic.
For e.g. as a solid sample melts to a liquid it will require more heat
flowing to the sample to increase its temperature, at the same rate as the
reference. This is due to the absorption of heat by the samples as it
undergoes the endothermic phase transition from solid to liquid.
4
PRINCIPLE
Likewise, as the sample undergoes exothermic processes (such as
crystallization) les heat is required to raise the temperature by
observing the difference in heat flow between the sample and the
reference. Differential Scanning Calorimeter is able to measure the
amount of heat absorbs or release during such transition.
Differential Scanning Calorimeter measures the energy absorbed or
released from a sample as a function of time or a temperature profile.
5
Instrumentation and Working of DSC
A small amount of sample (1-15 mg) was contained within a closed crucible
and placed into a temperature-controlled DSC cell. A second crucible
without sample was used as a reference.
A typical DSC run involves heating/cooling the sample at a controlled
steady rate, and monitoring the heat flow to characterize the phase
transitions and/or cure reactions as a function of temperature.
DSC is useful to make the measurements for melting points, heat of
reaction, glass transition temperature, and heat capacity. A calorimeter
measures the heat into or out the sample. A differential calorimeter
measures the heat of sample relative to a reference. Calorimeter does all
of the above and heats the sample with a linear temperature ramp.
6
THE GLASS TRANSITION
TEMPERATURE
This temperature may occur as the temperature
of an amorphous solid is increased. It appears as
a stack in thermo gram. Glass transition is the
transition from disordered solid to liquid. It is
observed in glassy solids such as polymers. It is
denoted as Tg.
7
8
THE CRYSTALLISATION TEMPERATURE
As the temperature further increases an amorphous solid will become less
viscous at some point, the molecules may obtain enough freedom of motion to
spontaneously arrange themselves into a crystalline form. This is known as the
CrystallizationTemperature.
It appears as a sharp positive peak. It is an exothermic process. This is the
transition from disordered to ordered transition.
9
10
THE MELTING TEMPERATURE
On further increasing the temperature the sample eventually
reaches its Melting Temperature. The melting process is an
endothermic process and it appears as a negative peak in the
thermo gram. This is the transition from ordered to disordered
transition. It is denoted as Tm.
