Phase diagram by differential scanning calorimetry (1)

1. Abstract

Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is a powerful analytical technique used to assess thermal properties of materials, offering valuable insights into phase transitions and thermal behavior. The phase diagram constructed via DSC analysis provides critical information about the stability ranges of different phases, phase transitions, and the effects of temperature and composition on material behavior. In this report, the focus is on the application of DSC to construct phase diagrams for various substances, elucidating their thermal characteristics as a function of temperature and composition. During the DSC process, a sample is subjected to a controlled temperature program, and the heat flow associated with transitions such as melting, crystallization, glass transition, and decomposition is measured. The heat flow data is recorded as a function of temperature, resulting in endothermic and exothermic peaks that represent phase changes. The integration of these peaks
