Overview

Advanced differential scanning calorimeter for precise thermal analysis of polymer materials. This instrument measures heat flow associated with material transitions as a function of time and temperature, providing critical data for material characterization and quality control.

Example outputs

  • Glass Transition Temperature Curve

    Detecting a Low-Temperature Glass Transition using the RCS 120 The DSC thermogram demonstrates the ease of detecting a very low temperature Tg of a silicone material with the liquid nitrogen-free cooling accessory, the RCS 120.

  • Melting Endotherm Analysis

    The plot shows MDSC results for a thermoplastic alloy blend of polycarbonate (PC) and polybutylene terephthalate (PBT). This material exhibits a variety of overlapping transitions, and interpretation of the Total Heat Flow is complicated.
    MDSC effectively separates the crystallization of the PBT component into the Non-Reversing Heat Flow, thereby allowing for accurate determination of the glass transition temperatures of each polymer in the Reversing Heat Flow.
