ISO 11357 specifies various methods of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) for the thermal analysis of polymers and polymer mixtures, such as: B. from: thermoplastics (polymers, molding compounds and compression molding products with or without fillers, fibers or reinforcing materials); thermosets (hardened or unhardened materials with or without fillers, fibers or reinforcing materials); Elastomers (with or without fillers, fibers or reinforcing materials). ISO 11357 is used to observe and quantify various phenomena or properties of the above materials, such as: E.g.: physical transformations (glass transition, phase transformations such as melting or crystallization, polymorphic transformations, etc.); chemical reactions (polymerization, crosslinking and vulcanization of elastomers and thermosets, etc.); oxidation stability; and heat capacity. This part of ISO 11357 specifies a number of general principles of dynamic differential thermal analysis, such as: B. Brief description of the method and equipment, sampling, calibration and general aspects of the method and test report common to all subsequent parts. Details on how to perform specific procedures are given in subsequent parts of ISO 11357.
