- Conclusions:
- The melting and boiling temperature of 4,4'-(4-methylpentane-2,2-diyl)bis((heptyloxy) benzene) were determined by DSC.
No melting point was determined. A glass transition of the test item was observed at -63.8°C (209.3K). - Executive summary:
The melting and boiling temperature of the test item were determined using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). This technique records the difference in heat flow of two crucibles, one filled with test item and the other left empty or containing an inert reference substance, while these crucibles are subjected to a controlled temperature programme. A transition of the test item, such as melting or boiling, is indicated by a deviation from the base line in the heat flow record. Because melting and boiling are processes in which heat is consumed, the deviation from the base line is in the endothermic direction for these processes. The melting temperature or boiling temperature (if any) of the test item is evaluated from the DSC curve as the extrapolated onset temperature of the endothermic melting or boiling effect.
As a safety precaution for the DSC cell a preliminary test was performed using a thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA).
No melting point was determined. A glass transition of the test item was observed at -63.8°C (209.3K).
