But these superconductors have transition temperatures near absolute zero (-273[degrees]C) and require expensive liquid helium to keep them cold.
Detailed DSC test procedures are given in the following ASTM methods: --E 1356, "Assignment of Glass Transition Temperatures by DSC," --D 3418, "Transition Temperatures and Enthalpies of Fusion and Crystallization of Polymers by DSC," --D 4419, "Transition Temperatures of Petroleum Waxes"; and --D 7426, "DSC Procedure for Glass Transition of a Polymer or Elastic Compound.
Glass transition temperatures were also measured using commercial differential scanning colorimetry.
