Differential thermal analysis and differential scanning calorimetry

  • Chapter

Abstract

When an organic chemical is prepared, it is checked against known materials for purity and stability. One of the easiest ways of doing this is to determine its melting point! This cannot be done by TG, since it involves no mass change! This also applies to solid-solid phase transitions and to some solid-state reactions. We therefore need a technique that identifies these transitions. Such a technique will give us a simple way of identifying and assessing the quality of materials that may be applied across a large range of substances, from polymers to metals.
