Abstract
Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and other methods of thermal analysis provide a lot of information about phase behaviour and physical properties of heterogeneous systems. This information is usually supplied by information provided by other methods, e.g., optical microscopy, X-ray and neutron diffraction, etc. Advantage of methods of thermal analysis consists in small amount of material necessary for the measurement, simple sample preparation and short measuring time.

At the same time, the length of the same chain in fully stretched state, L, is: \( L = bN > > b\sqrt {N} \) for \( N > > 1 \).
