Dielectric relaxation, temperature-modulated differential scanning calorimetry (TMDSC), and H NMR spectroscopy (see Section 4.05.3.2.1) have been used to perform the dynamic characterization of fananserine 35. The use of these three different techniques gives a coherent set of information and allowed the authors to describe the dynamic properties over a wide range of frequencies and temperatures <2006MI798>.

Pyda et al. (1998) studied in detail the heat capacity of PTT by adiabatic calorimetry, standard DSC and temperature-modulated differential scanning calorimetry (TMDSC) for this measurement. The computation of the heat capacity of solid PTT is based on an approximate group vibrational spectrum and the general Tarasov approach for the skeletal vibrations, using the well-established Advanced Thermal Analysis System (ATHAS) scheme. The experimental heat capacity at constant pressure is first converted to heat capacity at constant volume using the Nemst-Lindemann approximation... 

Some more insight into the thermal properties of an oriented PET is given by the data from quasi-isothermal, temperature-modulated differential scanning calorimetry. Figure 6.109 displays a comparison of a drawn film of PET [25] with a standard bulk sample which is analyzed in more detail in Eigs. 4.136-139. Compared to the 44%...

Calorimetric studies have depicted the impact of nanoparticles on isothermal curing of epoxy-amine system. Isothermal measurements done at 298 K using temperature-modulated differential scanning calorimetry are shown in Figure 9.15. The heat flow signal recorded during this measurement is directly proportional to the reaction rate of the curing process. It was foxmd that,... 

For many years, the thermodynamic description of macromolecules lagged behind other materials because of the unique tendency of pol5nneric systems to assume nonequilibrium states. Most standard sources of thermodynamic data are, thus, almost devoid of polymer information (1-7). Much of the aversion to include polymer data in standard reference sources can be traced to their nonequilibrium nature. In the meantime, polymer scientists have learned to recognize equilibrium states and utilize nonequilibrium states to explore the history of samples. For a nonequilibrium sample it is possible, for example, to thermally establish how it was transferred into the solid state (determination of the thermal and mechanical history). More recently, it was discovered with the use of temperature-modulated differential scanning calorimetry (TMDSC) that within the global, nonequilibrium structure of semicrystalline polymers, locally reversible melting and crystallization processes are possible on a nanophase level (8). 

Temperature-modulated differential scanning calorimetry is a new analytical technique used to obtain information on the heat capacity in the range close to the phase transformation. It is a method applied in many instraments, e.g. as the Modulated DSC (MDSC ) of TA Instm-... 

The sample (or furnace) temperature is controlled to follow a set course with superimposed periodical changes, and the heat flow rate is measured via the differential temperature between sample and reference (temperature-modulated differential scanning calorimetry, TMDSC [38]).
