Description
Summary:The evolution of the popular and important techniques of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) has now progressed through two decades of development and application. DSC has brought to the scientific community many timesaving analytical procedures as well as the ability to accurately assign many thermophyslcal properties of materials. The development of the technology associated with the construction and manufacturing of DSC sample holders and microfurnaces has been a continuous one. However, the ever-increasing degree of computerization of the DSC technique has led to improved hardware performance and awesome data storage, manipulation, and reduction capabilities. This paper will review the development of the differential scanning calorimetric technique from the early 1960's to its present state.
