Title: Differential Scanning Calorimetry DSC


1
Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC)
  • Bioanalytical Chemistry
  • Spring 2004

2
Thermal Analysis
  • Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC)
  • Measure heat absorbed or liberated during heating
    or cooling
  • Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (TGA)
  • Measure change in weight during heating or
    cooling
  • Thermomechanical Analysis (TMA)
  • Measure change in dimensions during heating or
    cooling

3
What Can You Measure with DSC?
  • Qualitative analysis
  • Fingerprinting of minerals, clays, polymers
  • Sample purity
  • Melting points
  • Heat capacity, cp
  • Glass transition temperature, Tg
  • Crystallization temperature, Tc
  • Phase diagrams

4
Where Used?
  • Pharmaceutical industry
  • Purity
  • Food industry
  • Characterization of fats and oils
  • Polymer industry
  • Synthetic blends

Variants of DSC
  • Heat flux
  • 1955 Boersma
  • 1 large (30 100 g) furnace
  • Power compensated
  • Separate small (1 g) microheaters for sample and
    reference
  • Hyper DSC
  • Very fast scan rates 500C/min
  • Mimic processing conditions
  • StepScan DSC
  • Short dynamic and isothermal scan steps
  • Separate reversible and irreversible effects

Heat Capacity
  • dqp/dt heat flow
  • dT/dt heating rate
  • (dqp/dt) / (dT/dt) dqp/dT cp

9
Temperature Program
  • T(t) T0 a twhere T is temperature, a is a
    constant and t is time
  • A t - Dynamic segment
  • dT/dt
  • T0 - Isothermal segment
  • Constant temperature

10
Glass Transition
Thermogram
  • Step in thermogram
  • Transition from disordered solid to liquid
  • Observed in glassy solids, e.g., polymers
  • Tg, glass transition temperature

Crystallization
Thermogram
  • Sharp positive peak
  • Disordered to ordered transition
  • Material can crystallize!
  • Observed in glassy solids, e.g., polymers
  • Tc, crystallization temperature

Melting
Thermogram
  • Negative peak on thermogram
  • Ordered to disordered transition
  • Tm, melting temperature
  • NB melting happens to crystalline polymers
    glassing happens to amorphous polymers
