Significance and Use5.1 Thermal analysis provides a rapid method for measuringtransitions due to morphological or chemical changes, in ap

16、olymer as it is heated/cooled through a specified temperaturerange. Change in specific heat capacity, heat flow and tempera-ture values are determined for these transitions. Differentialscanning calorimetry is used to assist in identifying specificpolymers, polymer alloys, and certain polymer additi

17、ves,which exhibit thermal transitions. Chemical reactions thatcause or affect certain transitions have been measured with theaid of this technique; such reactions include oxidation, curingof thermosetting resins, and thermal decomposition.5.2 This test method is useful for specification acceptance,p

18、rocess control, and research.6. Interferences6.1 Differences in heating or cooling rate as well as the finalheating and cooling temperature have an effect on the mea-sured results, especially on the enthalpy of fusion or crystalli-zation. Therefore, departure from conditions specified for agiven pol

20、sults attimes.6.4 Since particle size has an effect upon detected transitiontemperatures, the specimens to be compared shall be approxi-mately the same particle size (1-5).46.5 In cases that specimens react with air during thetemperature cycle, provision shall be made for running the testunder an in

21、ert gas blanket to avoid any incorrect measurement.Since some materials degrade near the melting region, caremust be used to distinguish between degradation and transition.6.6 Since milligram quantities of a specimen are used, it isessential to ensure that specimens are homogeneous andrepresentative

22、.6.7 It is possible that toxic or corrosive effluents are releasedwhen heating the material, and be harmful to the personnel orto the apparatus.6.8 Not all polymers lend themselves to the exact terms ofthis test method. For some polymers such as polyarylamides,crystallization is only possible from s

23、olution. For other poly-mers such as crystallizable polystyrene, annealing is onlypossible above their glass transition temperatures. When thistest method is used for polymers of this type, carefullyannealed samples must be tested without conditioning.7. Apparatus7.1 Differential Scanning Calorimete

Calibration9.1 The purge gas shall be

35、used during calibration.9.2 Calibrate the DSC temperature signal using PracticeE967 and the same heating rate to be used in this test methodpreferably 10C/min or 20C/min (see Note 5). (See Section 10for details.)9.3 Calibrate the DSC heat flow signal using Practice E968and the same heating rate as i

36、n 9.2 (see Note 5).9.4 Some instruments allow for the temperature and heatflow calibration to be performed simultaneously. In such cases,use the same heating rate for this method and follow themanufacturers instruction. Report the heating rate. (See12.1.3.)NOTE 5Use of other heating rates is permitt

37、ed. However, test resultsare affected by the heating rate. See Table 1. It is the responsibility of theuser of other rates to demonstrate equivalency to this test method.10. Procedure10.1 For First-Order Transition (melting and crystalliza-tion):10.1.1 The purge gas shall be used during testing. The

38、 flowrate of the gas shall be the same as used in the calibration (9.1).10.1.2 Use a specimen mass appropriate for the material tobe tested. In most cases a 5-mg specimen mass is satisfactory.Avoid overloading. Weigh the specimen to an accuracy of 610g.10.1.2.1 Intimate thermal contact between the p

Take care to ensure flat panbottoms.10.1.3 Perform and record a preliminary thermal cycle byheating the sample at the same rate used for testing

40、 from atleast 50C below to 30C above the melting temperature toerase previous thermal history.10.1.4 When the effect of annealing is studied, selection oftemperature and time are critical. Minimize the time ofexposure to high temperature to avoid sublimation or decom-position. In some cases it is po

41、ssible that the preliminarythermal cycle will interfere with the transition of interest,causing an incorrect transition or eliminating a transition.Where it has been shown that this effect is present, omit thepreliminary thermal cycle.10.1.5 Hold the temperature for 5 min (10.1.3).NOTE 6In cases tha

43、5 min.10.1.8 Repeat heating at the same rate used in 10.1.3(10C/min or 20C/min) and record the heating curve. Use thiscurve to calculate the enthalpies of transition.10.1.9 Measure the temperatures for the desired points onthe curves: Teim,Tpm,Tefm,Teic,Tpc, and Teic(see Fig. 1).Report two Tpms or T

Followany recommended procedur

46、es or guidelines of the instrument manufac-turer to obtain specimen temperature at the point of interest.10.2 For Glass Transition:10.2.1 The purge gas shall be used during testing. The flowrate of the gas shall be the same as used in the calibration (9.1).10.2.2 Use a specimen mass appropriate for

47、the material tobe tested. In most cases, a 10-mg specimen mass is satisfactory.Weigh the specimen to an accuracy of 610 g.10.2.3 Perform and record a preliminary thermal cycle byheating the sample at a rate of 20C/min from at least 50Cbelow to 30C above the melting temperature to erase previoustherm

(See Note 6.)10.2.5 Quench cool to at least 50C below the transitiontemperature of interest.10.2.6 Hold the temperature for 5 min.10.2.7 Repeat heating at a rate of 20C/min, and record theheating curve until all desired transitions have been complete
