Thermal analysis comprises a group of techniques used to study the relationship between a sample property and its temperature as the sample is heated or cooled in a controlled manner. This includes methods such as differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermo-optical analysis (TOA), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), thermomechanical analysis (TMA), and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA).
Just a small sample of a few milligrams is sufficient to measure the most important properties and characteristics of a substance, for example, the specific heat capacity, glass transition, OIT, crystallization, polymorphism, decomposition, composition, as well as many mechanical changes that occur as a function of temperature.
