Description
Thermal Analysis: From Introductory Fundamentals to Advanced Applications presents an easy-to-understand introduction to Thermal Analysis (TA) principles alongside in-depth coverage of the wide variety of techniques currently in use across several industries. It covers differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), temperature modulated DSC (TMDSC), differential thermal analysis (DTA), thermogravimetry (TG) or thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), thermomechanical analysis (TMA), differential photo-calorimetry (DPC), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), thermodilatometry (TD), dielectric thermal analysis (DEA), thermally-stimulated current (TSC), emanation thermal analysis (ETA), thermoluminescence (TL), fast scanning calorimetry (FSC), and microcalorimetry.
The book begins by defining the various TA techniques since its appearance in 1899 by Austen through the present day, as described in Chapter 1. Chapter 2 reports the Temperature-Modulated DSC (TMDSC) method and its applications, especially its use for studying the thermodynamic properties of polymers and pharmaceuticals. Chapter 3 focuses on the potential of TA in materials science with applications in chemistry and engineering, where it is employed in studying the thermal conversion of materials which yield new functional candidates for recent applications and determining contents of elements and moisture. Chapter 4 demonstrates in detail the various applications of TA in food, electronic industries, solid-state reactions, chemistry of polymers and large directing agents, kinetic studies, and so on. Chapter 5 demonstrates the crystal structure and phase changes occurring upon heating by TA. Finally, Chapter 6 demonstrates the potential of TA in recycling and waste management.
Key Features
- Gives a solid introduction to the scientific principles of TA for those who are new to these techniques or need a deeper understanding
- Illustrates concepts with more than 100 schematic and analysis curves, several flow charts, process diagrams, and photographs
- Contains chapters for using TA in materials science and crystal structures problems studies for the first time, something not provided in current TA books
Readership
Researchers using Thermal Analysis in materials design, chemical engineering, food quality, chemicals, electronics, industrial chemistry, and waste management and recycling. Upper undergraduate and graduate students and educators in chemistry, physics, physical science, and materials science
