Thermal Analysis of Materials

Robert Speyer9780824789633, 0-8247-8963-6

Discussing the design and optimum use of thermal analysis instrumentation for materials’ property measurement, this work details how the instruments work, what they measure, potential pitfalls and the fitting of experimental results to theoretical models. It presents a tutorial on writing computer programs for data manipulation, advanced thermoanalytical methods and case studies.
