A short history on the development of thermometric methods are reviewed accentuating the role of Rudolf Bárta in
underpinning special thermoanalytical conferences and new journal Silikáty in fifties as well as Vladimir Šatava 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. |
