2. Types of thermal analysis TG (Thermo Gravimetric) analysis: weight DTA (Differential Thermal Analysis): temperature DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry ): energy 2

3. Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA) Introduction: Differential thermal analysis is a technique in which the difference in temperature between a substance and reference material is measured as a function of temperature while the sample and reference are subjected to controlled temperature programme . 3

4. Phenomena causing changes in temperature Physical: Adsorption (exothermic) Desorption (endothermic) A change in crystal structure ( endo – or exothermic) Crystallization (exothermic) Melting (endothermic) Vaporization (endothermic) Sublimation (endothermic) 4

5. Chemical : Oxidation (exothermic) Reduction (endothermic) Break down reactions (endo – or exothermic) Chemisorption (exothermic) Solid state reactions (endo – or exothermic) 5

8. Historical aspects: In 1899 Robert Austen improved this technique by introducing two thermocouples, one placed in sample and other in the reference block. This technique was later on modified by Burgess(1909), Norton(1939), Grim(1951), Kerr(1948), Kauffman(1950), Fold Vari (1958). 8

21. Factors affecting DTA curves : DTA is a dynamic temperature technique. Therefore, a large number of factors can affect. These factors can be divided into the two groups: Instrumental factors Sample factors 21

22. Instrumental factors : Furnace atmosphere Furnace size and shape Sample holder material Sample holder geometry Wire and bead size of thermocouple junction Heating rate Speed and response of recording instrument Thermocouple location in sample 22

47. Differential Scanning Calorimetery (DSC) DSC measures differences in the amount of heat required to increase the temperature of a sample and a reference as a function of temperature 47

48. Control loupes in DSC sample reference Differential temperature control loop to maintain temperature of the two pan holders always identical Average temperature control loop to give predetermined rate of temperature increase or decrease 48

49. Power compensated DSC: Temperature differences between the sample and reference are ‘compensated’ for by varying the heat required to keep both pans at the same temperature. The energy difference is plotted as a function of sample temperature. 49 Platinum sensors Sample heater Reference heater

50. Heat flux DSC utilizes a single furnace. Heat flow into both sample and reference material via an electrically heated constantan thermoelectric disk and is proportional to the difference in output of the two thermocouple junctions. 50
