Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) is a method of thermodynamic analysis based on heat-flux method, wherein a sample material (enclosed in a pan) and an empty reference pan are subjected to identical temperature conditions. The energy difference that is required to maintain both the pans at the same temperature, owing to the difference in the heat capacities of the sample and the reference pan, is recorded as a function of temperature. This energy released or absorbed is a measure of the enthalpy change (ΔΗ) of the sample with respect to the reference pan.

The change in enthalpy per degree, at constant pressure is equivalent to the heat capacity of a material at constant pressure given by Equation 1. The enthalpy change is obtained by estimating the area under the curve between two temperature limits given by Equation 2.
(Equation 1)
A major application area of DSC is the glass transition (Tg) in amorphous polymers, in which the material changes from a rigid glassy state to a viscous liquid state. Pharmaceutical research on nano-particles is also an emerging field, where the DSC has been used to quantify amorphous or crystalline phase in nano-solids. A review of DSC techniques on applications in biology and nano-science has been provided by Gill et al.3 Nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) have potential applications in
