Approximation of the TG curve through a temperature power series in order to evaluate the non-isothermal kinetic parameters of solid-gas decompositions and degradation

Abstract

A procedure has been developed for evaluating non-isothermal kinetic parameters based on the development of the degree of conversion in a temperature power series. The procedure was applied to the dehydration of calcium oxalate monohydrate and to the thermooxidative degradation of an unsaturated polyester resin.
