Thermal analysis means the analysis of a change in a property of a sample, which is related to an imposed temperature alteration. Measurements are usually made with increasing temperature, but isothermal measurements or measurements made with decreasing temperatures are also possible. In fact, any measuring technique can be made into a thermal analysis technique by adding thermal control. Simultaneous use of multiple techniques increases the power of thermal analysis, and modern instrumentation has permitted extensive growth of application. The basic theories of thermal analysis are well developed and some of them are explained in this paper.
