STP 1402 examines the latest dynamic and modulated thermal analytical techniques, including new interpretations and applications of Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). The basis of many DSC methods is the modulation of temperature along with varying other parameters. Dynamic methods, including Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) and Dielectric Thermal Analysis (DETA), are also critiqued with new innovative applications. The mode of modulation, a sinusoidal wave or a saw tooth curve, affords the thermal analyst an opportunity to study a physical or chemical change in greater detail. 15 peer reviewed papers cover: • Temperature Modulated Differential Scanning Calorimetry (TMDSC) • Use of TMDSC in Curing and Chemical Reactions • Measurement of the Glass Transition and Melting by Modulated and Comparative Techniques • General Modulated Techniques • Other Modulated Techniques • Dynamic Techniques DMA and DETA.
