Abstract:
Rheology, Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) are analytical techniques used to study material properties, each focusing on different aspects. Rheology, which examines material flow and deformation, is closely linked to thermal transitions identified by DSC, such as glass transition and melting points. TGA provides insight into thermal stability, correlating with changes in rheological properties like viscosity and elasticity. Integrating DSC and TGA data with rheological analysis can provide a comprehensive understanding of a material’s behavior, particularly in polymers like waste plastics.
