| The basis of analysis are measurements, executed with the methods: |
- thermogravimetry (TGA),
- differential scanning calorimetry (DSC, DTA),
- adiabatic reaction calorimetry (ARC, APTAC, MMC),
- mass spectrometry (MS),
- dilatometry (DIL),
- rheometry and its special variant vulcametry (RHEO, VULC).
