ISO 11357-1:2023
Issue date: 2023 02 17
Plastics — Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) — Part 1: General principles
The ISO 11357 series specifies several differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) methods for the thermal analysis of polymers and polymer blends, such as
— thermoplastics (polymers, moulding compounds and other moulding materials, with or without fillers, fibres or reinforcements),
— thermosets (uncured or cured materials, with or without fillers, fibres or reinforcements), and
— elastomers (with or without fillers, fibres or reinforcements).
The ISO 11357 series is applicable for the observation and measurement of various properties of, and phenomena associated with, the above-mentioned materials, such as
— physical transitions (glass transition, phase transitions such as melting and crystallization, polymorphic transitions, etc.),
— chemical reactions (polymerization, crosslinking and curing of elastomers and thermosets, etc.),
— the stability to oxidation, and
—
