Abstract

Abstract The thermal stability and the kinetic parameters of a series of polyesters were studied by non-isothermal thermogravimetry. The thermal decomposition temperatures (TDT) depend principally on the nature of the diphenols, in the sense that when the bulk of the diphenol is increased, the TDT values decrease. The kinetic parameters, determined using the Arrhenius relationship, show that these polyesters degrade by a complex mechanism or possibly two or more superimposed processes, probably due to the complex structure of both diacids and diphenols.
