Endothermal peaks

Thermal Resistance and Flammability. Thermal analysis of PVA filament yam shows an endothermic curve that starts rising at around 220°C the endothermic peak (melting point) is 240°C, varying afitde depending on manufacture conditions. When exposed to temperatures exceeding 220°C, the fiber properties change irreversibly. 

Differential thermal analysis curves of iUite show three endothermic peaks in the ranges 100—150, 500—650, and at about 900°C, and an exothermic peak at about 940°C, or immediately following the highest endothermic peak. Minerals formed from iUite at high temperature vary somewhat with the... 

Endothermic peak temperature according to the differential scanning calorimeter method. (Speed of temperature rise 20 C/min.) he figures apply to 2-mm-thick sheet injection molded with cylinder temperature of 150°C and mold temperature 20 C. 

Heating the crystalline salt 2-aminopyridinium propiolate (346) at 100 °C in the solid state led to a 10 9 mixture of 2/f-pyrido[l,2-n]pyrimidin-2-one and ( )-3-(2-imino-l,2-dihydro-l-pyridyl)acrylic acid (347). Analysis of differental scanning calorimetry data shows unambiguously that the reaction takes place in the solid state. An endothermic peak at 81.1 °C corresponds to a solid state reaction, and a peak at 122-123 °C is attributed to melting. The product ratio of 2//-pyrido[l, 2-n]pyrimidin-2-one and 347 is 1 2.5 at 60°C, and 1 1.4 at 80°C (94MI12). 

The SCB distribution (SCBD) has been extensively studied by fractionation based on compositional difference as well as molecular size. The analysis by cross fractionation, which involves stepwise separation of the molecules on the basis of composition and molecular size, has provided information of inter- and intramolecular SCBD in much detail. The temperature-rising elution fractionation (TREE) method, which separates polymer molecules according to their composition, has been used for HP LDPE it has been found that SCB composition is more or less uniform [24,25]. It can be observed from the appearance of only one melt endotherm peak in the analysis by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) (Fig. 1) [26]. Wild et al. [27] reported that HP LDPE prepared by tubular reactor exhibits broader SCBD than that prepared by an autoclave reactor. The SCBD can also be varied by changing the polymerization conditions. From the cross fractionation of commercial HP LDPE samples, it has been found that low-MW species generally have more SCBs [13,24]. 

The crosslinked polymers also show endothermic peaks in the range of 130-140°C. These endotherms can be attributed to the decomposition of the residual azo group and the polymerization of vinyl monomers (Fig. 1). 

Other hand, when an equimolar mixture of 2,5-DSP and l OEt is recrystallized from benzene, yellow crystals, comprising 2,5-DSP and l OEt in a molar ratio of 1 2, deposit. In the DSC curve of this crystal, a single endothermic peak is observed at 166°C, which is different from the melting point of either 2,5-DSP (223°C) or l OEt (156°C). Furthermore, the X-ray powder diffraction pattern of the crystal is quite different from those of the homocrystals 2,5-DSP and l OEt. Upon irradiation the cocrystal 2,5-DSP-l OEt affords a crystalline polymer (77i h = 1.0 dl g in trifluoroacetic acid). The nmr spectrum of the polymer coincides perfectly with that of a 1 2 mixture of poly-2,5-DSP and poly-1 OEt. In the dimer, only 2,5-DSP-dimer and l OEt-dimer are detected by hplc analysis, but the corresponding cross-dimer consisting of 2,5-DSP and l OEt is not detected at all (Hasegawa et al., 1993). These observations by nmr and hplc indicate that the photoproduct obtained from the cocrystal 2,5-DSP-l OEt is not a copolymer but a mixture of poly-2,5-DSP and poly-l OEt in the ratio 1 2. 

The first two peaks involve the loss of 2 waters of hydration. The broad endothermic peak following in the above diagram is similar to that we might see for a change in composition such as ... 

In the broadest sense, thermal analysis (TA) measures physical changes in a material as a function of temperature. TA instruments measure variables in a sample such as heat flow, weight, dimensions, etc. A typical fingerprint of a compound might be the endothermic peak on a thermogram indicating a sample s crystalline melt. 

Mostly, the convention with exothermic peaks (exotherms) shown as positive and endothermic peaks (iendotherms) as negative is accepted. However, there are exceptions and care should always be exercised in the interpretation of recorded data.

Differential thermal analysis of sodium valproate shows a large endotherm beginning at 100°C and ending at 118°C which is possible due to the loss of water. A sharp endothermic peak at 450°C is indicative of the melting point of sodium valproate. 

The results of differential scanning calorimetry(DSC) indicate the change in aggregation state. The trans micelle showed a main endothermic peak at 14 2°C(A H =1.0 kcal/mol), corresponding to a gel-liquid crystal phase transition, whereas the transition temperature for the cis micelle appeared at 11.9°C( AH = 0.8 kcal/mol). This is unequivocal evidence that the trans-cis photoisomerization is a sufficient perturbation to alter the state of molecular aggregation. 

Figure 3.2. Differential calorimetric curves for the molecular glasses (a) Spiro-sexiphenyl (second heating curve) and (b) Spiro-PBD (first and second heating curve). The glass transition is indicated by a characteristic step, the melting point by an endothermic peak. In (a) recrystallization occurs above Tg, which can be seen by an exothermic peak. The material in (b) forms a stable amorphous glass without recrystallization. The melting point from the first heating curve of a crystalline sample (dotted line) disappears in the second heating cycle (solid line). Only the glass transition is visible.

Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) curves of the Ag/Si02 sample prepared by the two-step method are shown in Fig. 6.10. The TGA curve exhibits two evident weight loses, which are in the range of ca. 100 to 250°C and 250 to 550°C, corresponding to the loss of solvent, water, ethanol and THF, and the decomposition of organic silica, respectively. Four evident endothermic peaks can be observed from DTA curve, which centered at ca. 200°C, 350°C, 425°C and 480°C, respectively.
