Differential Scanning Calorimetry:

Differential scanning calorimetry or DSC is a process used to analyze the thermal properties of substances. 

Typical Applications Include:

Melting points/profiles                                           Glass transition                                                  Thermal history/processing conditions                     Crystallization temp, rates, times                      Oxidation                                                             Specific heat/heat capacity                                 Relative purity                                                        Degree of cure
