MY BOOKS
This is the very first encyclopedic summary of this kind of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC): the most important thermal analysis technique used today and the most common thermal analysis instrument found in chemical characterization laboratories. Many researchers using this technique have a limited understanding of the true breadth of its capabilities. Up to now, there has been no book that would describe the application of DSC in all the various areas of materials chemistry. The Handbook of Differential Scanning Calorimetry has been written to fill that void. The handbook summarizes the knowledge on the subject and hence it gives people in all chemical and biological areas a broad overview of this measuring technique so they will be able to utilize this analytical technique more efficiently.
