DSC-measurements of amber and resin samples
In the present paper the thermal behaviour of amber and a resin of a pine tree has been investigated with the aim to show a correlation between the age of amber and its thermal behaviour. The thermal analysis of samples have been performed using a differential scanning calorimeter. After thermal analysis of the samples under different conditions the similarity of resin and amber relating to their thermal behaviour and their age is shown.
