Material characterization. (Instruments).


The HyperDSC is said to be a breakthrough thermal analysis Thermal analysis is a branch of materials science where the properties of materials are studied as they change with temperature. Techniques include:
  • Differential scanning calorimetry
  • Dynamic mechanical analysis
  • Thermomechanical analysis
 method for material characterization. This HyperDSC method is said to deliver unparalleled sensitivity and new insights into materials processes that cannot be obtained by existing differential scanning calorimetry Differential scanning calorimetry or DSC is a thermoanalytical technique in which the difference in the amount of heat required to increase the temperature of a sample and reference are measured as a function of temperature.  methods, according to according to

HyperDSC's fast development and high-quality results are said to make it the ideal method for the polymer and other industries ranging from polymorphism polymorphism, of minerals, property of crystallizing in two or more distinct forms. Calcium carbonate is dimorphous (two forms), crystallizing as calcite or aragonite. Titanium dioxide is trimorphous; its three forms are brookite, anatase (or octahedrite), and rutile.  to thermal screening of enzymes, to high throughput screening and characterization of microgram microgram /mi·cro·gram/ (µg) (mi´kro-gram) one millionth (10-6) of a gram.

HyperDSC uses linear controlled scanning rates of up to 500[degrees]C/minute when heating and cooling the sample, thereby providing the highest level of sensitivity for easier identification of weak transitions, according to the manufacturer. Its method mimics production processes. (Perkin Elmer)
