Abstract
The temperature dependence of the relaxation times of the structural relaxation process of polystyrene is determined by temperature-modulated differential scanning calorimetry (TMDSC) and by conventional differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) in the latter by modelling the experimental heat capacity curves measured in heating scans after different thermal histories. The good agreement between both measuring techniques in the temperature interval just above the glass-transition temperature is a guide for the interpretation of the results of the TMDSC technique in the glass-transition region. In addition, the same model applied to DSC scans is used to simulate the TMDSC experiment and the calculated response is compared with the measured scans.
