Abstract
This study investigates
the thermal behavior of selected polymers ethylene-co-propylene and
hydrogenated isoprene-co-styrene using Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC).
Polymer samples were subjected to controlled heating and cooling cycles, and
the heat flow associated with thermal events was recorded. DSC analysis
revealed distinct thermal transitions corresponding to polymer-specific
structural characteristics. The results demonstrated that semicrystalline
polymers exhibited clear melting and crystallization peaks, while amorphous
polymers showed only a glass transition. The study highlights the sensitivity
of DSC in detecting subtle thermal events and provides insights into the
thermal stability and phase behavior of polymers, which are critical for
processing and application design. The findings contribute to understanding how
polymer composition and morphology influence their thermal properties and
potential performance under varying thermal conditions.
