Endothermic peak from photo-dsc?

18 June 2020 0 7K Report

Hi All,

I am checking curing of paste and for some paste there I no exothermic peak and only endothermic peak shown. Probably curing is complete however what does the endothermic peak indicate? Polymer chain relaxation or softerning?

The graph I have is heat flow vs time curve
