Application
Simultaneous Thermal Analysis (STA) generally refers to the simultaneous application of Thermogravimetric (TG) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) to one and the same sample in one instrument. The advantages are obvious: The test conditions are perfectly identical for the TG and DSC signals (same atmosphere, gas flow rate, vapor pressure on the sample, heating rate, thermal contact to the sample crucible and sensor, radiation effect, etc.). Furthermore, it improves sample throughput as more information's gathered from each test run.
DSC analysis possibilities:
- Melting/crystallization behavior
- Solid-solid transitions
- Polymorphism
- Degree of crystallinity
- Glass transitions
- Cross-linking reactions
- Oxidative stability
- Purity determination
