Thermal Analysis of Dammar Resin with Differential Scanning Calorimetry Method

摘要

The benefit of dammar resin as an alternative renewable energy sources can be optimized by knowing the thermal characteristics. The purpose of this study is to perform thermal analysis of dammar resin. The differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) methods have been used to do this analysis. The results obtained indicate that the dammar resin has a melting temperature of 70.88°C and 303.02°C evaporation temperature, dammar resin also has a melting enthalpy of 7.6041 J/g and the enthalpy of vaporization 55.0395 J/g.
