    Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) are the most common test methods used to determine the glass transition temperature (Tg) of plastics. DSC monitors the difference in heat flow between a sample and reference material as temperature increases or decreases at a programmed rate, while DTA monitors the difference in temperature between a sample and reference. Both techniques allow the Tg to be identified as a change or transition in a sample's physical or thermal properties.

    How to measure Tg

    » The most usual test methods to


    determine Glass Transition
    Temperature of plastics is (DSC)
    Differential Scanning Calorimetry &
    Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA).

    » In DTA, the difference in temperature


    between the sample and a reference
    material is monitored against time or
    temperature while the temperature
    rise/fall of the sample, in a specified
    atmosphere, is programmed.

    » In DSC, the difference in heat flow to


    a sample and to a reference is
    monitored against time or temperature
    while the temperature rise/fall of the
    sample, in a specified atmosphere, is
    programmed.
