Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) is commonly used in order to characterise the thermophysical properties of polymers. DSC is able to measure important thermoplastic properties including:
Melting temperature
Tg or softening
Crystallization
Heat of melting
Percent crystallinity
Presence of recyclates/regrinds
Polymer blends (presence, composition and compatibility)
Plasticizers
