Short Description
This new edition of a well-received work discusses the role of thermal analysis (TA) in the development of new polymeric materials with specific thermal related characteristics such as the ability to withstand extreme weather conditions and temperatures. Focusing on the principles and applications of thermal analysis in the polymer industry, this edition complements Dr. Hatakeyama's new work, Handbook of Thermal Analysis, which offers practical technical information and data tables.
Thermal Analysis Fundamentals and Applications to Polymer Science T. Hatakeyama Otsuma Women's University, Tokyo, Japan F. X. Quinn L'Oréal Recherche Advancée, Aulnay-sous-Bois, France The first edition of this classic book remains one of the very few introductory books covering both theoretical and practical aspects of thermal analysis (TA). This new edition includes a much enlarged section on MDSC, in which the instrument is described and a critical appraisal of the technique presented. Other additions include new sections on rate-controlled TGA, OTTER, and Specific Heat Spectroscopy, and a thoroughly updated section on X-Ray DSC. This very practical book is a must for people who use thermal analysis techniques in their everyday work. "An excellent introductory text" - Review of 1st Edition.
