Abstract
Thermal analysis is an analytical technique in which characteristics of the materials which involves the temperature and/or heat are studied. Usually, the measurements are made either by increasing or decreasing the temperature. Broadly speaking, any measuring and/or analytical technique can be made as thermal analysis technique which involves the temperature and/or heat as a key function for analysis. In this chapter, we have briefly introduced thermal analysis and its basic principle. Moreover, we have also discussed the types and applications of thermal analysis.
