Melting and Crystallisation by Standard DSC

= cryslfil heal capacity Cp = amorphous heal capacity AHf(T) = healof fusion 

Polymers have much broader melting ranges and do not crystallise fully, as outlined in Section 2. An important quantity is, thus, the determination of the mass fraction of crystallinity, Wg, and its change with temperature on heating and cooling. One assumes that  

Besides the lags during melting, which are complicated by temperature modulation, one must choose the proper modulation type for the measurement. Furthermore, the deconvolution of the signal in MTDSC discussed in Section 3.1 is in need of special attention before one is prepared to study the melting (and crystallisation) of polymers. These two topics are addressed
