Course content
Application of thermal analysis methods with emphasis on DTA, DSC and MDSC, TMA and dilatometry in the study of properties of non-crystalline materials. In addition to determining the basic thermoanalytical characteristics of non-crystalline materials (glass transformation temperature, dilatometric softening temperature, coefficient of thermal expansion, heat capacity and its changes with temperature and composition) kinetics of physical aging of glasses (enthalpic relaxation of glasses).

  • Participation in classes - 24 hours per semester
Learning outcomes
Application of thermal analysis methods with emphasis on DTA, DSC and MDSC, TMA and dilatometry in the study of properties of non-crystalline materials. In addition to the determination of basic thermoanalytical characteristics of non-crystalline materials (glass transition temperature, dilatometric softening temperature, coefficient of thermal expansion, heat capacity and its variation with temperature and composition), methods of crystallization kinetics of supercooled intrinsic and extrinsic melts, crystal melting, thermal stability of supercooled melts, and kinetics of physical aging of glasses (enthalpic relaxation of glasses) will be discussed.

Prerequisites
unspecified

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral examination, Home assignment evaluation
