Better Characterization of Polymer Blends Using StepScan DSC
22 May 2012This note shows that the high performance of Pyris 1 DSC provides outstanding results on materials, such as polymer blends. The use of the StepScan DSC technique yields enhanced characterization information by separating out the reversible and irreversible thermal events. The high resolution of the Pyris 1 DSC coupled with the StepScan DSC technique yielded all three Tg’s of each of the polymer tri-blend components.

Thermal Analysis EquipmentThermal analysis equipment is used for measuring heat flow, weight loss, dimension changes or thermomechanical properties and is important for analyzing a material’s performance and stability. Thermal analysis equipment includes differential scanning calorimeters (DSC), thermogravimetric analyzers (TGA), thermomechanical analyzers (TMA), dilatometers, thermometers, vapor sorption analyzers, boiling and melting point apparatus. Thermal analyzers can reveal properties such as melting, crystallization and glass transitions or other processes such as oxidation, decomposition, volatilization, as well as coefficients of thermal expansion and modulus.
