DSC measures the heat flow associated with thermal transitions in bitumen as it is heated or cooled. It identifies melting points, glass transition temperatures, and crystallization behaviors. DSC helps understand thermal properties, compatibility of additives, and the effects of modification on bitumen’s thermal stability and performance under temperature variations.
