Area of Science:

  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Physical Chemistry
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Differential scanning microcalorimetry (DSC) is a traditional method for stability analysis.
  • DSC uses accelerated high-temperature studies and Arrhenius equation extrapolation.
  • This extrapolation method can introduce uncertainties in predicting long-term material behavior.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce kinetic analysis of microcalorimetric data.
  • To demonstrate the application of isothermal microcalorimetry for stability studies.
  • To highlight advancements in direct determination of kinetic and thermodynamic parameters.

Main Methods:

  • Isothermal microcalorimetry for direct measurement of reaction kinetics.
  • Controlled environmental conditions (pH, pO2, RH) during studies.
