Abstract: The field of Thermal Analysis (TA) in chemistry covers the measurement of material properties as a function of temperature and includes such state-of-the-art techniques as Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA), Thermomechanical Analysis (TMA), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), and Accelerating Rate Calorimetry (ARC). In addition to chemical kinetics information, these advanced techniques yield material properties data such as glass transition point, coefficient of expansion, heat of fusion, degree of crystallinity, freezing, melting and boiling point, thermal reactivity, stability, and specific heat. Over the past decade, there have been many improvements in the field of Thermal Analysis due to advances in computer technologies and the design of new test equipment. These improvements have brought Thermal Analysis to a new level of importance for quality control and product development. It is currently being used in all areas of manufacturing control and is useful in determining physical equipment and requirements for safety in the transportation and storage of chemical materials. Significant contributions have been made in such areas as polymers, metals, pharmaceuticals, and explosives.
