The course will provide a comprehensive overview of the latest developments and applications of the main thermal analysis and calorimetry techniques including differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), evolved gas analysis (EGA), thermomechanical (TMA) and dynamic thermomechanical analysis (DMA), dielectric measurements (DEA), calorimetry, industrial safety, and thermomicroscopy.
Current programme
DSC & MDSC - Duncan Price, Edwards Vacuum
TGA & EGA - Gareth Parkes, University of Huddersfield
TMA, DMA, & EGA - John Duncan, Lacerta Technology
Calorimetry & Industrial Safety - Ian Priestley, Syngenta
Thermomicroscopy - Gage Ashton, University of Huddersfield
The day will also include several networking / refreshment breaks during which there will be plenty of opportunity for discussion with the course speakers, all of whom have wide experience in the application of thermal techniques to the characterisation of materials.
