Thermal analysis is applied on aluminum alloys by researchers to investigate mainly phase transformations, while it is regularly used for quality control purposes in industry. Techniques like cooling curve analysis, differential thermal analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, and isothermal calorimetry are amongst those most frequently used by scientists and engineers. These techniques will be described, and a mathematical description of the results will be developed. State-of-the-art quantification methods applied on aluminum alloys will be presented and criticized based on specific examples taken from the literature.

Abstract In this paper we carried out the crosslinking of the tetraglycidyl-4,4′- diaminodiphenyl methane epoxy resin by using a reactive poly(arylene ether sulphone) as curing agent. Differential scanning calorimetry was used to derive the kinetic parameters of the reactions involved in the cure process and to evaluate the extent of the reaction as a function of time by measuring the total (ΔHr) and the residual heat(ΔHresid) of the resin at different curing times. A comparatively slower reaction was found to take place when the resin was cured with the poly(arylene ether sulphone) that when it was cured with the conventional curing agent 4,4′-diaminodiphenyl sulphone.

Nowadays there is a wide market for cocoa butter equivalents, substitutes and improvers for the confectionery and dairy industries. An urgent task is the development of operational instrumental methods for cocoa butter and its substitutes quality control. Thermophysical parameters are among the most important characteristics of the fat phase for the food technology. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is becoming one of the most promising methods for analytical control of fat and oil products. Thermophysical data (temperatures of the maximums of endothermic peaks and their areas) for cocoa butter and chocolate glaze typical samples applied at dairy processing enterprises of the Central black soil region for the production of chocolate glazed curd bars were obtained in the work performed with its help. DSC data were compared with chromatographic data on triglyceride composition of the fat phase of cocoa butter, cocoa butter equivalents, lauric and non-lauric substitutes, and POP and SOS cocoa butter improvers. It was shown that the DSC method can control the quality of cocoa butter and chocolate glaze, identify chocolate products of different origin and triglyceride composition. Melting thermograms obtained by DSC are highly sensitive to the fat phase triglyceride composition. DSC allows reliable identification of samples of cocoa butter and glaze by melting curves in the temperature range from -100 to +50 ° C. It was found that the main melting peak of cocoa butter and its substitutes, due to the presence of a certain set of triglycerides, is observed in the temperature range from -5 to +30 °C. When examining glazes, the melting peak changes: it bifurcates, expands or narrows. Additional application of computer separation of the unseparated peaks superposition on the DSC melting curves increases the information content of the method and improves the reliability of the fat phase identification. The DSC method is characterized by sample preparation simplicity, has good reproducibility and other metrological characteristics and can be an independent method for fat and oil products identifying and quality control..

<p>The thermal stability of pseudocyclic and cyclic <i>N</i>-heterocycle-stabilized (hydroxy)aryl- and mesityl(aryl)-l<sup>3</sup>-iodanes (NHIs) through thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is investigated. NHIs bearing <i>N</i>-heterocycles with a high N/C-ratio such as triazoles show among the lowest descomposition temperatures and the highest decomposition energies. A comparison of NHIs with known (pseudo)cyclic benziodoxolones is made and we further correlated their thermal stability with reactivity in a model oxygenation. </p>
