The Rapra Collection of DSC Thermograms of Semi-crystalline Thermoplastic Materials

Differential scanning calorimetry is an extremely useful analytical method that can be used to measure the Tg and Tm of polymers, for studying the melting behavior of polymers that have different crystallization histories as well as in the identification of constituent parts of polymer blends. The result of many years work this book provides a set of thermograms for 68 materials covering a broad range of widely available semi-crystalline polymers. The collection has been designed so that four thermograms for each material can be seen, enabling a clear picture of the thermal history of the material.
