3 DSC: Typical DSC Transitions Heat Flow exothermic Glass Transition Crystallization Melting Cross-Linking (Cure) Oxidation or Decomposition Temperature

4 Endothermic Heat Flow Heat Flow (W/g) Heat Flow Endothermic: heat flows into the sample as a result of either heat capacity (heating) or some endothermic process (glass transition, melting, evaporation, etc.) Exo Up Temperature ( 蚓 )

5 Exothermic Heat Flow 0.1 Heat Flow (W/g) 0.0 Heat Flow Exothermic: heat flows out of the sample as a result of either heat capacity (cooling) or some exothermic process (crystallization, cure, oxidation, etc.) -0.1 Exo Up Temperature ( 蚓 )

6 Heat Flow (cont.) Understanding DSC Signals (cont.) Where: dh dt = measured heat flow rate Cp = sample heat capacity = specific heat (J/g C) x mass (g) dt dt = measured heating rate f (T,t) = heat flow due to kinetic processes (evaporation, crystallization, etc.)

7 Understanding DSC Signals (cont.) Heat Flow Due to Heat Capacity Heat Capacity = Specific Heat (J/g C) x mass (g) For a given sample, the higher the heating rate, the higher the heat flow rate. Therefore, high heating rates increase sensitivity to detect weak transitions Heat Flow Rate = mwatt = mj/sec The heat flow rate becomes endothermic as heating of the sample begins (due to sample Cp at that temperature) and becomes more endothermic at higher temperature due to increasing sample Cp at higher temperature During cooling, the heat flow signal is exothermic

8 Understanding DSC Signals (cont.) Heat Flow Due to Heat Capacity (cont.) Absolute Heat Capacity or Specific Heat (J/g C) is important because: 1. It is required by engineers to develop systems that heat or cool materials 2. It is a measure of molecular mobility Vibration occurs below and above Tg Rotation polymer backbone and sidechains (in and above Tg) Translation polymer molecule (above Tg) Changes in heat capacity are important because they signal significant changes in the physical properties of a material

9 Heat Flow Due to Heat Capacity

10 Tg is a Step Change in Heat Capacity Heat Capacity (J/g/ C) Heat Capacity Heat Flow Temperature Below Tg - lower Cp - lower Volume - lower CTE - higher stiffness - higher viscosity - more brittle - lower enthalpy Glass Transition is Detectable by DSC Because of a Step-Change in Heat Capacity [ ] Heat Flow (mw) Exo Up Temperature ( C) -1.0 Universal V3.8A TA Instruments

11 Heat Flow Due to Kinetic Events

12 Applications Thermoplastics Thermosets Pharmaceuticals Heat Capacity Glass Transition Melting and Crystallization Additional Applications Examples

13 Thermoplastic Polymers Semi-Crystalline or Amorphous Crystalline Phase melting temperature Tm (endothermic peak) Amorphous Phase glass transition temperature (Tg) (causing ΔCp) Tg < Tm Crystallizable polymer can crystallize on cooling from the melt at Tc (Tg < Tc < Tm)

14 DSC of Thermoplastic Polymers Tg Melting Crystallization Oxidative Induction Time (OIT) General Recommendations 10-15mg in crimped pan 10 C/min

16 Thermoplastic: Heat Flow vs. Temperature for H-C-H 1.5 Quenched PET 1.0 Cool 0.5 Heat Flow (W/g) 0.0 Second Heat First Heat Temperature ( C)

17 Calculation of % Crystallinity Sample must be pure material, not copolymer or filled Must know enthalpy of melting for 100% crystalline material (ΔH lit ) You can use a standard ΔH lit for relative crystallinity For standard samples: % crystallinity = 100* ΔH m / ΔH lit For samples with cold crystallization: % crystallinity = 100* (ΔH m - ΔH c )/ ΔH lit

18 PET Initial Crystallinity C 0.5 Heat Flow (W/g) C C(I) C C 53.39J/g Initial Crystallinity = C 74.71J/g C Temperature ( C)

19 Crystallinity by DSC Example: Crystallinity of Polyethylene obs ΔH f % Crystallinity = 100% ΔH Table: Heats of fusion of 100% crystalline polymers f Q: Where is my polymer in this table?

20 PET Initial Crystallinity Calculation C 0.5 Heat Flow (W/g) C C(I) C C 53.39J/g C 74.71J/g % crystallinity = 100* (ΔH m - ΔH c )/ ΔH lit -1.0 ( ) = 15% C Temperature ( C)

21 PET % Crystallinity 21J/g Initial Crystallinity or 15% Crystalline Does that sound right? The sample is quenched cooled PET We know that quenched cooled PET is 100% amorphous Why does DSC give us the wrong answer?

23 Crystallization Crystallization is a kinetic process which can be studied either while cooling or isothermally Differences in crystallization temperature or time (at a specific temperature) between samples can affect enduse properties as well as processing conditions Isothermal crystallization is the most sensitive way to identify differences in crystallization rates

43 Calculation of MDSC Signals Total Heat Flow Equivalent to standard DSC at the same average heating rate Calculated from the average value of the Modulated Heat Flow The average and amplitude values of the Modulated Heat Flow are calculated continuously (every 0.1 seconds) using Fourier Transform analysis. This provides much better resolution than would be obtained from using the actual average and amplitude values that occur only twice over each modulation cycle.

76 Most Common Applications of MDSC; Amorphous Structure The size (J/g C) and temperature of the glass transition provide useful information about the amount and physical state of amorphous material in a sample. The glass transition temperature (Tg) is important because the sample undergoes a significant change in physical and reactive properties at this temperature Measurement of the glass transition is important to nearly all DSC users. Because of the significant change in properties at Tg, it is often difficult to measure Tg by standard DSC.

82 Selecting MDSC Experimental Conditions (Pan Type) Pan Type Always do TGA experiment to determine volatile content and decomposition temperature Volatilization can hide other transitions Volatilization can affect sample properties or even structure Select pan type (crimped vs. hermetic) based on volatile content and desire to lose or retain volatiles In general, select thinnest, lightest pan possible for the sample/application Thin, light pans provide better heat transfer and will permit shorter modulation periods and faster average heating rates
