Differential Scanning Calorimeter.
DSC.
One of the most exciting areas of expertise developing in our
department is Materials Science. In fact we are the site of the
Materials Science center,
largely a collaboration between Chemistry, Physics and Geology. One of
our newer faculty, Dr. Kurt Wiegel is an organic chemist and polymer
engineer. One of the major tools in polymer science is the differential
scanning calorimeter (DSC), with support from the Petroleum Research
Fund, UWEC and our Chemistry Foundation, Dr Wiegel has obtained a state
of the art Mettler instrument.
