Abstract

Temperature-modulated differential scanning calorimetry (TMDSC) has recently been introduced as a promising calorimetric technique. However, the added value of TMDSC in practice is still not very obvious, in particular with respect to crystallization and melting. An important reason is that the evaluation is less transparent than in case of other dynamic techniques since in TMDSC the response is also based on temperature. Moreover, the temperature program applied is very critical.

In this paper an overview is given of the different aspects of TMDSC using a general theoretical description based on the full heat capacity formulation. It is demonstrated that processes studied with the aid of TMDSC can simply be classified into three distinct regimes, depending on the time scale and the susceptibility of the process to the temperature modulation.
