The instrument for the research is a heat-flux-based colorimeter of TA Instruments, Inc. (MDSC (7). It is modulated at the block temperature, with a sinusoidally changing amplitude, governed by the tempemture measured at the sample position, T, ... 

An E-glass fiber polyester composite was examined in [28]. Powdery specimens were collected by grinding from a laminate using a rasp and then placed on a scale within a TGA Q500 oven from TA instruments Inc. [28]. The temperature of the oven is increased at a linear rate. As the temperature approaches the decomposition temperature, T, the mass of the sample begins to decrease, as shown in Figure 2.10.

The principle of microcalorimetry is iUustraled with Fig. A.10.7 (pTA of TA Instruments, Inc.). The tip of an atomic force microscope, AFM, is replaced by a Pt-wire that can be heated and modulated, as is illustrated in detail with Fig. 3.96. A typical resolution is about 1.0 pm with heating rates up to 1,000 K min. A temperature precision of +3 K and a modulation frequency up to 100 kHz has been reached. The figure shows the control circuit for localized thermal analysis. In this case the probe contacts the surface at a fixed location with a programmed force, controlled by the piezoelectric feedback of the AFM. A reference probe is attached next to the sample probe with its tip not contacting the sample, allowing for... 

DTA as well as power compensation DSC instruments, and is called temperature modulated DSC, or TMDSC. The following trade marks are used by different TA instrument manufacturers for their temperature modulated differential scanning calorimeters Modulated DSC (MDSC ) of TA Instruments Inc., Oscillating DSC (ODSC ) of Seiko Instruments Inc., Alternating DSC (ADSC ) of Mettler-Toledo Inc. and Dynamic DSC (DDSC ) of Perkin-Elmer Corp.
