High-Speed Calorimetry for the Study of the Kinetics of (De)vitrification, Crystallization, and Melting of Macromolecules

This paper reports on the characteristics and use of a new mode of measurement: High Performance DSC (HPer DSC), which represents a major step forward in high-speed calorimetry, as compared to standard DSC. It facilitates the study of the kinetics and metastability of macromolecular systems, espe…
