Fast scanning power compensated differential scanning nano-calorimeter: 2. Heat capacity analysis

Experimental study of crystallization of PolyEtherEtherKetone (PEEK) over a large temperature range using a nano-calorimeter

“…Thus, it requires greatly improved sensitivity of the calorimetric sensor and to reduce the time constant of the apparatus. In this context, laboratory devices [25][26][27][28], and especially the nano-DSC [29][30][31], have been developed to reach cooling rates up to more than 10 3 K/s. These nano-DSC devices were developed for very small sample mass: from 10 nano grams to hundreds of nano grams.…”

Kinetics of nucleation and crystallization in poly(butylene succinate) nanocomposites

“…One of these instruments is the differential fast scanning calorimeter (DFSC) which has already provided significant details regarding the nucleation and crystallization phenomena of various materials, since it allows cooling and M A N U S C R I P T A C C E P T E D ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 3 heating at rates as high as 1,000,000 K/s. A detailed description of the measurement principle and the instrumental setup has been given in earlier publications [15,16]. Fast scanning calorimetry was applied to provide an in situ investigation of structural and kinetic characteristics of the PBSu samples along with size-dependent effects far from thermodynamic equilibrium.…”

Pharmaceutical solvates, hydrates and amorphous forms: A special emphasis on cocrystals

“…Quench cooling in the DSC can be beneficial, specifically for the in situ amorphization of materials which crystallize very quickly. The sample size should be very small for fast scan rates in order to ensure good thermal contact, and to avoid a thermal gradient and associated lag [194].…”
