Thank you for your interest in Thermal Analysis of Biodegradable Material - From Modulated Temperature DSC to HyperDSC.
Description: Some natural materials are being studied as green alternative to synthetic plastics. One of them is wheat gluten. Thermal analysis has been used to characterize wheat gluten-based material. Thermogravimetry TGA allows the ability to determine the water content and the degradation temperature of wheat gluten, which are important factors to consider for processing. Conventional DSC, StepScan DSC and HyperDSC are used to compare the detection capability of the glass transition of wheat gluten protein which is often plasticized by moisture. The study of a wheat gluten/additive system confirms that the protein structure can be modified by the additive.
