1 Scope
The ISO 11357 series specifies several differential scanning calorimetry ( DSC ) methods for the thermal analysis of polymers and polymer blends, such as
— thermoplastics (polymers, moulding compounds and other moulding materials, with or
without fillers, fibres or reinforcements),
— thermosets (uncured or cured materials, with or without fillers, fibres or reinforcements),
and
— elastomers (with or without fillers, fibres or reinforcements).
The ISO 11357 series is applicable for the observation and measurement of various properties of, and phenomena
associated with, the above-mentioned materials, such as
— physical transitions (glass transition, phase transitions such as melting and crystallization,
polymorphic transitions, etc.),
— chemical reactions (polymerization, crosslinking and curing of elastomers and thermosets,
etc.),
— the stability to oxidation, and
— the heat capacity.
