CZECHOSLOVAK FOOTPRINTS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF METHODS OF THERMOMETRY, CALORIMETRY AND THERMAL ANALYSISA tribute to professor Vladimír ?atava, DrSc, a mastermind of theoretical basis of thermal analysis, who celebrates his 90th birthday dedicating also the 55th anniversary since he becomes the Editor of the journal Ceramics-Silikáty

摘要

A short history on the development of thermometric methods are reviewed accentuating the role of Rudolf Bárta inunderpinning special thermoanalytical conferences and new journal Silikáty in fifties as well as Vladimir ?atava mentioninghis duty in the creation of the Czech school on thermoanalytical kinetics. This review surveys the innovative papers dealingwith thermal analysis and the related fields (e.g. calorimetry, kinetics) which have been published by noteworthy postwarCzechoslovak scholars and scientists and by their disciples in 1950-1980. Itemized 227 references with titles show richscientific productivity revealing that many of them were ahead of time even at international connotation.
