The purpose of this paper is to assist DSC users with interpretation of unusual or unexpected transitions in DSC results. The transitions discussed in

Since the introduction of the first commercial (temperature servo) device for quantitatively measuring heat flow into (or out of) a sample as it under

Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) is used to measure heat flow into or out of a sample as it is exposed to a controlled thermal profile. DSC pro

In this study the tensile stress/strain behavior of various consumer plastic thin film materials was measured using a low mass mechanical analyzer. Fi

Most military’s greases are formulated for use in severe service environments and multipurpose applications. To meet these requirements, the specifica

Manufactures have been listening. In growing numbers, they have been hearing the rising voices of dissatisfied customers, outspoken consumer advocates

DSC is the most direct and sensitive approach for characterizing the thermodynamic parameters controlling noncovalent bond formation (and therefore st

Greases are important lubricating systems that are very interesting to a rheologist since they often exhibit strongly time-dependent behavior [thixotr

Thermoset polymers form the matrix in filled plastics and fiberreinforced composites used in a diversity of products. These range from consumer items

Creep recovery measurements on anionically polymerized polystyrenes and commercial low density polyethylene have been performed with a new magnetic be

The challenge for studying fast changing systems with rheology such as UV initiated polymerization and crosslinking is multifold. These materials reac

In an oscillation shear experiment, the material is subjected to either a sinusoidal strain or stress and the corresponding response is measured. The

近年来已有越来越多利用微量热仪器研究食品相关课题发表，包含天然物的分离纯化、食品加工程序优化、食品添加剂、食品污染及毒性评估等。基于仪器的高灵敏度及能够量测活体生物生长代谢能量的优点，已有许多研究植物细胞、动物细胞或微生物（细菌、真菌、病毒等）相关文献发表在不同领域。本短文乃是基于生长代谢能量之量测

Although membrane proteins are very difficult to work with, ultra-sensitive calorimetry can over-come the limitations of many other physical character

Waterborne coatings do not have a priori, the same advantageous rheological properties as solvent-based coatings. If not formulated correctly, they ar

Rheological testing of thermoplastic materials can be performed on both solid samples and on melts. This is important because the choice of material f

Fluid materials, by definition, are systems which flow when subjected to stress. How they respond to an input stress is the heart of rheological testi

The simple yet highly sophisticatd character of these instruments has a major drawback: their simplicity significantly increases the potential foor mi

Materials such as coals, coal products (e.g., chars, briguettes) and activated carbons are a self-heating hazard in storage and transportation. Accord

The shelf life of a pharmaceutical depends ultimately on the stability of the active pharmaceutical ingredient in the formulation. The most common met
