THERMAL ANALYSIS
The technique of thermal analysis actually comprises of a series of methods, which detect the
changes in the physical and mechanical properties of the given substance by the application
of heat or thermal energy. The physical properties include mass, temperature, enthalpy,
dimension, dynamic characteristics, etc. It finds its application in finding the purity, integrity,
crystallinity and thermal stability of the chemical substances under study. Sometimes it is
used in the determination of the composition of complex mixtures. This technique has been
adopted as testing standard in quality control in the production field, process control and
material inspection. It is applied in wide fields, including, polymer, glass, ceramics, metals,
explosives, semiconductors, medicines and foods.
