BS EN ISO 11357-1:2016 PDF

1   Scope

ISO 11357 specifies several differential scanning calorimetry ( DSC ) methods for the thermal analysis of polymers and polymer blends, such as

— thermoplastics (polymers, moulding compounds and other moulding materials, with or without fillers, fibres or reinforcements),

— thermosets (uncured or cured materials, with or without fillers, fibres or reinforcements), and

— elastomers (with or without fillers, fibres or reinforcements).

ISO 11357 is intended for the observation and measurement of various properties of, and phenomena associated with, the above-mentioned materials, such as

— physical transitions (glass transition, phase transitions such as melting and crystallization, polymorphic transitions, etc.),

— chemical reactions (polymerization, crosslinking and curing of elastomers and thermosets, etc.),

— the stability to oxidation, and

— the heat capacity.
