 Differential scanning calorimetry

Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) is a thermal analysis technique used to measure how a material's heat capacity changes as a function of temperature or time. It is commonly employed in materials science, polymer science, food science, pharmaceuticals, and other fields to study the thermal properties of substances. ### Key Features of DSC: 1. **Heat Flow Measurement**: DSC measures the heat flow into a sample compared to a reference material as both are subjected to controlled temperature changes.
