Abstract

The glass transitions of different materials (a silicate glass, a metallic glass, a polymer, a low molecular liquid crystal and a natural product) were investigated. By means of the temperature-modulated DSC (TM-DSC) mode, the frequency was varied. In the case of DSC, the cooling rate was changed. TM-DSC was shown to be a practicable tool for the acquisition of dynamic parameters of glass transitions for all kinds of materials.
