Abstract

Mathematical models emulating DSC/DTA traces of fusion and first-order decomposition were developed. A computer program is described that uses the simplex numerical optimization algorithm to determine the coefficients for the model equations that best fit experimental data, by the criterion of least-squared error. Use of the program permitted deconvolution of various superimposed endotherms.
