Abstract
Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is the most common thermal technique for polymer characterization. This article provides a detailed account of the various factors and processes involved in DSC. The discussion covers the equipment used, specimen preparation process, calibration requirements, data analysis, and provides examples of the applications and interpretation of DSC.
