Application to polymer characterization by thermal analysis

  • Feature Article
  • Published:
Frontiers of Chemistry in China

Abstract

The measured results of thermal analysis depend on experimental conditions. The international and national organizations have constituted a series of methods to characterize the physical and chemical properties for substances. The applications to physical transition, chemical reaction, and characteristic parameters of substances are given in the article as examples.
