A more detailed investigation of the thermal behavior of the exploding [ ]rotanes by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements performed in aluminum crucibles with a perforated lid under an argon atmosphere revealed that slow decomposition of exp-[5]rotane 165 has already started at 90 °C and an explosive quantitative decomposition sets on at 150 °C with a release of energy to the extent of AH(jecomp = 208 kcal/mol. Exp-[6]rotane 166 decomposes from 100°C upwards with a maximum rate at 154°C and an energy release of AH(jg on,p=478 kcal/mol. The difference between the onset (115°C) and the maximum-rate decomposition temperature (125-136°C) in the case of exp-[8]rotane 168 is less pronounced, and AHjecomp 358 kcal/mol. The methy-... 

Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) showed this to be prone to highly exothermic decomposition (100 J/g) at ambient temperatures. Solutions are a little more stable. 

The two most popular methods of calculation of energy of activation will be presented in this chapter. First, the Kissinger method [165] is based on differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis of decomposition or formation processes and related to these reactions endo- or exothermic peak positions are connected with heating rate. The second method is based on Arrhenius equation and determination of formation or decomposition rate from kinetic curves obtained at various temperatures. The critical point in this method is a selection of correct model to estimate the rate of reaction. 

TGA analysis shows that polymer degradation starts at about 235°C which corresponds to the temperature of decomposition of the cellobiose monomer (m.p. 239°C with decom.). Torsion Braid analysis and differential scanning calorimetry measurements show that this polymer is very rigid and does not exhibit any transition in the range of -100 to +250 C, e.g. the polymer decomposition occurs below any transition temperature. This result is expected since both of the monomers, cellobiose and MDI, have rigid molecules and because cellobiose units of the polymer form intermolecular hydrogen bondings. Cellobiose polyurethanes based on aliphatic diisocyanates, e.g. HMDI, are expected to be more flexible. 

Next, the thermal properties of the dye must be such that absorption of the laser energy will result in dye diffusion but not in decomposition. The melting temperature Tm, the latent heat of fusion, AH, and the specific heat for these dyes were determined by differential scanning calorimetry using a DuPont 990 Thermal Analyzer. The data are given in Table II. No thermal decomposition products for these dyes were detected upon heating to 600 °C for 20 msec. 

A rather different study of the kinetics of decomposition of solid complexes of [VO(dbm)2(L)] (dbm = dibenzoylmethanato, L = py and several methyl-, dimethyl- and amino-pyridines) used differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).531 Using the temperature that corresponds to the loss of the molecule L in equation (37), a linear relationship was found between it and the basicity of L, except for 4-amino- and 4-methyl-pyridine. 

Chromophores must be thermally robust enough to withstand temperatures encountered in electric field poling and subsequent processing of chromophore/polymer materials. Chromophore decomposition temperatures can be assessed by techniques such as thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). TGA and DSC measurements on neat chromophore samples in air will tend to yield decomposition temperatures lower than those for the same chromophores in hardened polymer lattices. Typically, to be useful for development of device quality materials, a chromophore must exhibit thermal stability of 250 °C or higher (with thermal stability defined as... 

Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements were used to determine the decomposition temperatures of APX and ADNQ, and indicate that decomposition of APX starts with an onset temperature of 174 °C. In contrast to this behavior the decomposition temperature of the ionic compound ADNQ is 197 °C. In addition, both compounds were tested according to the UN3c standard in a Systag, FlexyTSC Radex oven at 75 °C for 48 hours with the result, that no weight loss or decomposition products were detected. 

In contrast to polymerisates, polycondensates can not be depolymerized under inert conditions. Decomposition usually leads to the destruction of the chemical structure and the monomers. The thermal decomposition of PET starts at about 300°C in an inert atmosphere [25]. Between 320 and 380°C the main products are acetaldehyde, terephthalic acid, and carbon oxides under liquefaction conditions. The amounts of benzene, benzoic acid, acetophenone, C1-C4 hydrocarbons, and carbon oxides increase with the temperature. This led to the conclusion that a P-CH hydrogen transfer takes place as shown in Eigure 25.8 [26]. Today the P-CH-hydrogen transfer is replaced as a main reaction in PET degradation by several analytic methods to be described in the following sections. The most important are thermogravimetry (TG) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) coupled with mass spectroscopy and infrared spectroscopy. 

The differential scanning calorimetry thermogram of lomefloxacin hydrochloride obtained on a Shimadzu DSC-50 instrument at a scan rate of 5°C/min is given in Figure 19. The thermogram exhibits a sharp melt peak with an onset temperature of 294°C and an extrapolated melting point of about 304°C followed by decomposition.
