Abstract
Recent topics on the thermal analysis of polymers are reviewed. There are several remarkable features in the field of thermal analysis of polymers, i. e., (1) a significant increase in the studies using thermally stimulated processes, (2) development of a few novel techniques which are classified into the category of the thermal analysis, (3) an increase in the reports on the electrical thermal analysis of PVDF, (4) an increase in the studies which deal with Tll transitions, (5) publication of many reports on the thermal analysis of complex polymer systems such as polymer blends, block polymers, composite materials.
