Dr Gareth Parkes at the University of Huddersfield, UK, and Duncan Stacey at Linkam Scientific Instruments, UK, combine differential scanning calorimetry with thermomicroscopy to analyse energy changes and optical features of materials.
Understanding the way materials behave under different conditions is integral to optimising their use in almost all applications, from industrial polymers to pharmaceutical research and development. Thermal analysis methods such as thermomicroscopy allow researchers to observe optical and physical transitions as a material progresses through a reaction. Read how researchers at Huddersfield University used the Linkam DSC450 that combines Differential Scanning Calorimetry with Optical observation to gain additional insights into the properties of different materials.
