Thermal analysis

Thermal analysis involves studying how the physical and chemical properties of a substance change with temperature. Techniques are used to measure changes like weight loss, heat flow and phase transitions and provide valuable information about thermal stability, decomposition, melting points, and crystallinity.

Techniques

A technique in which the difference in energy inputs into a substance (and/or its reaction product(s)) and a reference material is measured as a function of temperature whilst the substance and reference material are subjected to a controlled temperature program.
