Some applications of differential scanning calorimetry for the analysis of polymers

Applications of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) have continued to grow in many diverse areas. It is the purpose of this paper to discuss some of the newer applications of DSC for the analysis of polymers. Applications include: heat-sealing characteristics of polyethylene, determination of additives, the cross-linking of polyethylene by peroxides and the analysis of impact polystyrene.
