Abstract
It has long been considered that the most useful workhorse techniques, for a modestly equipped laboratory concerned with charcterising polymeric materials, are differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA), wide and small angle X-ray diffraction (WAX and SAXS), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and optical and electron microscopy.
