In Modulated-Temperature Differential Scanning Calorimetry (MTDSC) a c
onventional heating programme is modulated cyclically. The heat-flow s
ignal is split into an underlying and an approximately periodic part.
We summarise the present state of the method with regard to chemical r
eactions and melting. We also give a more extensive treatment of the g
lass transition. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
