An overview of development of calorimetric and thermal analysis methods is given to focus the fundamental aspects of the subject and to show the link between experiments and theory. Practical application of most popular method is illustrated on examples from polymer chemistry, material science and biological sciences. The most imortant part of the course is dedicated to the theory and application of Differential Scanning Calorimetry, Thermomechanical Analysis and their modulated versions. The application of thermal analysis and calorimetry in the study of kinetic processes is thouroughly explained.
Students should gain the basic knowledge about calorimetry and thermal analysis and they should be able to work with measured data and to make a suggestion for suitable techniquies of measurement for a given problem.
