Materials Today is proud to present a range of freely accessible articles on the various techniques that comprise modern thermal analysis.
Thermal analysis covers a range of techniques used to determine the physical or chemical properties of a substance as it is heated, cooled or held at constant temperature. These techniques date back to 1887, in what is considered the dawn of present-day thermal analysis, when Henry Le Chatelier carried out his first thermometric measurements on clays. Since then materials scientists have been fascinated by thermal analysis due its dual nature: not only does it provide analytical information on the fundamental properties of materials, but it is also a core engineering tool, vital to the development of industrial products.
With presentations from experts in the field, articles and interviews, we hope that you will find this section of MaterialsToday.com to be an invaluable resource for exploring the potential of thermal analysis techniques including differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), flash DSC, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), thermomechanical analysis (TMA) and much more.
