For thermal conductivity measurements, the DSC must have a sample-mounting<br />

structure consisting of a common metal plate or heat sink, an insulating block, an<br />

aluminum radiation shield, and sample holders. The unknown and reference sam-<br />

ples are placed in good thermal contact with the sample holder plate and are sur-<br />

rounded by an aluminum radiation shield. An insulating block separates the heat<br />

sink and shield. The tops of the samples make thermal contact with a copper heat<br />

sink through two circular holes in the insulating block. Thermocouples in the heat<br />

sink and sample holders measure the temperature at the sample surfaces.<br />

2.3 Coefficient of Thermal Expansion. Two procedures were used to measure<br />

the coefficient of thermal expansion. That used for large specimens was the<br />
