Zusammenfassung

Die wichtigsten Probleme der Thermoanalyse werden besonders im Hinblick auf die analytische Chemie kritisch besprochen. Fragen der Nomenklatur und Standardisierung sowie des Aufbaus von Meßsystemen werden behandelt. Die Art der durch die Thermoanalyse erhaltenen Information wird diskutiert und die entsprechende Entwicklung auf dem Gebiet der Datenverarbeitung beschrieben. Auf die Verarbeitung kinetischer Daten wird besonders hingewiesen. Die einzelnen thermoanalytischen Verfahren und ihre Anwendungsgebiete werden besonders ausführlich behandelt. Bei der Thermogravimetrie und der Analyse freigesetzter Gase wird die Kopplung mit MS und GC erwähnt. Eingegangen wird ebenfalls auf thermomechanische, thermosonimetrische, thermoelektrometrische und thermooptische Methoden. Schließlich wird ein Ausblick auf zukünftige Entwicklungsmöglichkeiten gegeben.

Summary

The most important problems of thermal analysis, including those of methodological nature, are reviewed critically, with regard to the special requirements of analytical chemistry. After touching on the questions of nomenclature and standardisation in thermal analysis, the construction of measuring systems and the connections between the individual parts are dealt with. The nature of information provided by thermal methods of analysis and the present state of development of data acquisition and processing in this field are described. Attention is paid to the problems involved in processing kinetic data and the difficulties of this type of data evaluation are pointed out. A relatively long chapter is devoted to the description of the individual methods, including their fields of application. Thermogravimetry and evolved gas analysis are treated with special regard to systems coupled with MS and GC. Thermomechanometry, thermosonimetry, thermoelectrometry and thermooptometry are also discussed. The paper is concluded by views concerning the future development of thermal analysis.
