Principles of method if other than guideline:

Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC)
Investigations by DSC and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) provide information on the thermal behavior of materials.
Sample quantities of a few milligrams are used. The sample and a thermally neutral behaving reference substance are heated in an oven at a constant heating rate, and the temperatur is measured in two containers. An ideal thermal symmetry of the sample and reference substance (ie same heat capacity, same heat transfer to the surroundings) is characterized by both substances beeing equally rapidly heated and the temperature difference is equal to zero. If heat is consumed by a reaction or a physical process, ie. as a phase transition in the sample heat (endothermic) is used or released (exothermic), then temperature differences appear between sample and reference, which characterize the current operation.
In the DSC diagram of the heat flow of the sample is shown related to the oven temperature. By integrating this curve the amount of heat releases or consumed in the thermal event is calculated.
This method is used mainly for investigations of the thermal stability of samples as a screening method for determining the temperature at which the onset of decomposition can be detected (onset temperature) and used to determine the heats of decomposition.

Any other information on results incl. tables

A weak exothermic reaction was noted at T>250°C after an endothermic event. The temperature range of the endothermic event was between 216 and 238 and 240-250°C. The enthalpie measured for the events were 33 or 59 J/g, respectively. The second signal was very weak.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

A transition from the melting into decomposition was observed in MPS. The melting temperature is above 200 °C. If, on the substance starts to melt and to decompose, MPS has a relatively low heat release (up to -59 J/g).
