TOPEM® – the new advanced multifrequency temperature modulated DSC technique

Abstract

TOPEM® is a new temperature modulated DSC technique based on a stochastic temperature modulation superimposed to a conventional underlying DSC temperature program. Analysis of the temperature input and the heat flow output signal delivers the quasi static heat capacity as well as the quasi static reversing and non reversing heat flows. Furthermore, also the frequency dependent complex heat capacity of the sample can be computed in a wide frequency range. All this information is available from one single TOPEM® measurement
