Advanced Thermal Analysis: Concise Guide to Fundamentals, Instrumention and Applications

This book provides a concise account of a variety of non-traditional thermal instrumentation and applications , covering the principles, experimental apparatus and practical procedures used in thermal analysis. The book also discusses the applications of thermal analytical methods in a wide range of disciplines, including pharmaceutical materials, foods, polymers, bio-materials and glasses, making it a valuable reference in any field where changes in sample are observed under controlled heating, controlled cooling and isothermal conditions. With a strong focus on practical issues and relating the measurements to the physical behavior of the materials under test, the book serves as a comprehensive reference for undergraduate and graduate level students, academics, scientists, and engineers working in the field of thermal analysis.
