Overview

The use of thermal analysis techniques has increased rapidly in the past ten years and their field of application is widening continuously. This book provides an overview of the principal thermal analysis methods and their application in major areas of importance, and will bring the reader up-to-date with the latest advances in the field. Thermal Analysis - Techniques and Applications covers differential thermal analysis (DTA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetry (TG), simultaneous TG-DTA/DSC, thermomicroscopy, high temperature X-ray diffraction, evolved gas analysis, thermomechanical analysis and dynamic mechanical analysis and in addition assesses the potential of the controlled rate thermal analysis technique. It also gives a detailed discussion of the fields of study in which thermal analysis has been applied. The book takes an inter-disciplinary approach and will be of great value to a wide range of scientists and engineers, including those involved in industrial chemistry, polymer and materials science, and inorganic, physical, and analytical chemistry.
