Description
Book SynopsisThermal 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.
