NETZSCH Analysis Instruments at Harvard University
"We chose to work with NETZSCH’s HP-DSC because of its versatility and robustness. By allowing us to reliably access high pressures up to 150 bar with a wide range of gas environments, NETZSCH’s HP-DSC has greatly facilitated our group’s efforts to investigate Phase TransitionsThe term phase transition (or phase change) is most commonly used to describe transitions between the solid, liquid and gaseous states.phase transitions in next-generation thermal materials."

Method
High-Pressure Differential Scanning Calorimetry (HP-DSC)
Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) allows not only for the determination of phase transformation temperatures but also for the quantification of transformation enthalpies.
A type of modified DSC, in which the measurement cell is installed in an autoclave (a "pressure DSC"), allows measurements to be carried out at pressures ranging from 5 kPa to 15 MPa (high-pressure DSC).
High-pressure DSC measurements can be performed in inert or reactive gas atmospheres. When an inert gas is used, the pressure dependence can be studied when the sample transformation (usually a caloric effect) is also accompanied by a volume change. This allows dehydration and Decomposition reactionA decomposition reaction is a thermally induced reaction of a chemical compound forming solid and/or gaseous products. decomposition reactions with gas release to be studied by pressure DSC. When a reactive gas is used, the gas becomes one of the reactants and the pressure is a measure of its concentration. This method can be used to perform aging tests on organics (such as oils, fats, waxes, greases, etc.) and polymers.
Measuring Principle of a High-Pressure DSC
In contrast to the setup of a regular DSC, the measuring cell of a high-pressure DSC (HP-DSC) is surrounded by an autoclave which is supported by pressure and gas flow control systems.
Pressure and purge gas flow are adjusted via a separate control board. With the help of liquid nitrogen cooling, it is even possible to achieve temperature programs in the subambient range.
The heating and cooling rates achieved (0.01 K/min to 100 K/min and to 50 K/min, respectively) as well as the maximum and minimum temperatures are significantly influenced by the atmosphere and pressure used.
