Specific heat capacity (a.k.a. Specific heat)
• symbolized as c, units in J/g°C
• It’s the heat required to raise 1 gram of a substance by 1 °C
Heat capacity
• calculated by c x m, units in J/°C
• It’s the heat required to raise the temperature of an object by
1 °C.
Molar heat capacity: units in J/mol °C.

Determination of Tg for glasses by dilatometry.
The linear sections below and above Tg are marked green;
Tg is the temperature at the point of intersection of the corresponding red regression lines.

The Dynamic Mechanical Analysis is a high precision technique for
measuring the viscoelastic properties of materials. It consists in
applying a sinusoidal deformation to a specimen of material and
measuring the resulting force transmitted through the specimen.
