Differential scanning calorimetry

The technique was developed by

E.S. Watson and M.J. O'Neill in 1960,

and introduced commercially at the Pittsburgh Conference on Analytical Chemistry and Applied Spectroscopy in 1963

Page 3: Presentation2dsc

Definitions

• A calorimeter

measures the heat into or out of a sample.

• A differential calorimeter measures the heat of sample relative to a reference.• A differential scanning calorimeterdoes all of

the above and heats the sample with a linear temperature

•Endothermicheat flows into the sample.•Exothermicheat flows out of the sample.

This technique is used to study 1. Measures the heat loss or gain resulting from physical or chemical change with in the sample as a function of temperature.2. What happens to polymers/samples upon heatingIt is used to study thermal transitions of a polymer/sample (the changes that take place on heating)

For example: The melting of a crystalline polymer The glass transitionThe crystallization

Page 6: Presentation2dsc

Principle

• The sample and reference are maintained at the same temperature, even during a thermal event in the sample

• The energy required to maintain zero temperature difference between the sample and the reference is measured

• During a thermal event in the sample, the system will transfer heat to or from the sample pan to maintain the same temperature in reference and sample pans

There are two pans, In sample pan, polymer is added, while the other, reference or standard substance is added

Each pan sits on top of heaters which are controlled by a computer

The computer turns on heaters, and let them heat the two pans at a specific rate, usually 10oC/min.

The computer makes absolutely sure that the heating rate stays exactly the same throughout the experiment

The result of a DSC experiment is a curve of heat flux versus temperature or versus time.

This curve can be used to calculate enthalpies of transitions, which is done by integrating the peak corresponding to a given transition. The enthalpy of transition can be expressed using equation:

ΔH = KA

Page 15: Presentation2dsc

Where, ΔH is the enthalpy of transition,

K is the calorimetric constant, A is the area under the peak.

The calorimetric constant varies from instrument to instrument, and can be determined by analyzing a well-characterized material of known enthalpies of transition.

Area under the peak is directly proportional to heat absorbed or evolved by the reaction,

Height of the peak is directly proportional to rate of the reaction

Page 16: Presentation2dsc

Two types of factors effect the DSC curve

1-Instrumental factors

a- Furnace heating rate b- Recording or chart speed c- Furnace atmosphere d- Geometry of sample holder/location of

sensors e- Sensitivity of the recoding system f-Composition of sample containers

• DSC plot can be used to determine Heat Capacity. Suppose a polymer is being heated. When heating starts two pans, the computer will plot the difference in heat output of the two heaters against temperature that is plot of heat absorbed by the polymer against temperature. The plot will look like this at first.

Page 19: Presentation2dsc

The heat flow is heat (q) supplied per unit time (t), whereas, The heating rate of temperature increase (ΔT) per

unit time (t)

Page 20: Presentation2dsc

• By dividing heat flow (q/t) by the heating rate (ΔT/t). It ends up with heat supplied divided by the temperature increase, which is called heat capacity.

Page 21: Presentation2dsc

When a certain amount of heat is transferred to the sample, its temperature increases by a certain amount, and the amount of heat it takes to get a certain temperature increase is called the heat capacity,

or Cp, it can be figured up from the DSC plot

On heating the polymer to a certain temperature, plot will shift downward suddenly, like this:

Page 24: Presentation2dsc

After glass transition, the polymers have a lot of mobility. They wiggle and squirm, and never stay in one position for very long time. But when they reach the right temperature, they will give off enough energy to move into very ordered arrangements, which is called crystals.

Page 25: Presentation2dsc

The temperature at the highest point in the peak is usually considered to be the polymer's crystallization temperature, or Tc

Page 26: Presentation2dsc

If we heat our polymer past its Tc, eventually we'll reach another thermal transition, called melting. When we reach the polymer's melting temperature, Tm, the polymer crystals begin to fall apart, that is they melt. It comes out of their ordered arrangements, and begin to move around freely that can be spotted on a DSC plot

Page 27: Presentation2dsc

This means that the little heater under the sample pan has to put a lot of heat into the polymer in order to both melt the crystals and keep the temperature rising at the same rate as that of the reference pan. This extra heat flow during melting shows up as a big dip on DSC plot, like this:

Page 28: Presentation2dsc

we saw a step in the plot when the polymer was heated past its glass transition temperature. Then we saw a big peak when the polymer reached its crystallization temperature. Then finally we saw a big dip when the polymer reached its melting temperature. To put them all together, a whole plot will often look something like this:

Page 29: Presentation2dsc

DSC is used in the study of liquid crystals. Some materials go from solid to liquid, they go through a third state, which displays properties of both the phases. This anisotropic liquid is known as a liquid crystalline state or mesomorphous state.

Using DSC, it is possible to observe the small energy

changes that occur as matter transitions from a solid to a liquid crystal and from a liquid crystal to anisotropic liquid.

Page 30: Presentation2dsc

To study the stability to oxidation of samples generally requires an airtight sample chamber. Usually, such tests are done isothermally (at constant temperature) by changing the atmosphere of the sample.

First, the sample is brought to the desired test temperature under an inert atmosphere, usually nitrogen.

Then, oxygen is added to the system. Any oxidation that occurs is observed as a

deviation in the baseline. Such analysis can be used to determine the stability and optimum storage conditions for a material or compound.

Page 31: Presentation2dsc

• DSC is widely used in the pharmaceutical and polymer industries. For polymers, DSC is a handy tool for studying curing processes, which allows the fine tuning of polymer properties. The cross-linking of polymer molecules that occurs in the curing process is exothermic, resulting in a peak in DSC curve that usually appears soon after the glass transition.

• In the pharmaceutical industry it is necessary to have well-characterized drug compounds in order to define processing parameters. For instance, if it is necessary to deliver a drug in the amorphous form, it is desirable to process the drug at temperatures below which crystallization can occur.

Page 32: Presentation2dsc

Melting-point depression can be used as a purity analysis tool when analysed by Differential scanning calorimetry. This is possible because the temperature range over which a mixture of compounds melts is dependent on their relative amounts. Consequently, less pure compounds will exhibit a broadened melting dip that begins at lower temperature than a pure compound.

Page 33: Presentation2dsc

DSC is used widely for examining polymers to check their composition. Melting points and glass transition temperatures for most polymers are available from standard compilations, and the method can show up possible polymer degradation by the lowering of the expected melting point, which depends on the molecular weight of the polymer, so lower grades will have lower melting points than the expected.

Impurities in polymers can be determined by

examining thermograms for anomalous peaks, and plasticizers can be detected at their characteristic boiling points.

Page 34: Presentation2dsc

In food science research, DSC is used in conjunction with other thermal analytical techniques to determine water dynamics. Changes in water distribution may be correlated with changes in texture.
