Summary: Thermal Analysis (TA) has become an indispensable family of analytical techniques in the polymer research. The increased importance of these techniques can be seen as the result of three more or less parallel developments: & bull; a tempestuous development of TA measuring techniques in combination with a high degree of automation, & bull; the strongly increased understanding of the underlaying theory and, & bull; the increasing knowledge of the relation between the polymers' chemical structure and their physical properties. These areas are still in their developmental stages, especially the
