DSC Curve Interpretation

Interpretation of typical DSC curves
 The 15 diagrams include the following effects:
  • melting
  • crystallization, cold crystallization
  • evaporation, vaporization, drying
  • solid-solid transition
  • polymorphic transitions via the liquid phase
  • glass transition
  • oxidation
  • curing, polymerization, polyaddition
  • decomposition
  • initial deflection
  • artifact, mechanical disturbances

Try to identify the effects on the curves and try to find out what each substance is.
