%0 Journal Article %T CZECHOSLOVAK FOOTPRINTS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF METHODS OF THERMOMETRY, CALORIMETRY AND THERMAL ANALYSIS %A Pavel Holba %A Jaroslav £żest¨˘k %J Ceramics-Silik¨˘ty %D 2012 %I Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic %X A short history on the development of thermometric methods are reviewed accentuating the role of Rudolf B¨˘rta in underpinning special thermoanalytical conferences and new journal Silik¨˘ty in fifties as well as Vladimir atava mentioning his duty in the creation of the Czech school on thermoanalytical kinetics. This review surveys the innovative papers dealing with thermal analysis and the related fields (e.g. calorimetry, kinetics) which have been published by noteworthy postwar Czechoslovak scholars and scientists and by their disciples in 1950-1980. Itemized 227 references with titles show rich scientific productivity revealing that many of them were ahead of time even at international connotation. %K History %K Thermal analysis %K Calorimetry %K Kinetics %K DTA %U http://www.ceramics-silikaty.cz/2012/pdf/2012_02_159.pdf
