ICTAC Kinetics Committee recommendations for performing kinetic computations on thermal analysis data

Many solid-state kinetic models have been developed in the past century. Some models were based on mechanistic grounds while others lacked theoretical justification and some were theoretically incorrect. Models currently used in solid-state kinetic studies are classified according to their mechanistic basis as nucleation, geometrical contraction, diffusion, and reaction order. This work summarizes commonly employed models and presents their mathematical development.

Computational aspects of kinetic analysis: Part A: The ICTAC kinetics project-data, methods and results

A brief review is given of previously suggested methods for analysis of experimental data of non-isothermal crystallization kinetics based on the Johnson-Mehl-Avrami transformation rate equation. Conditions for applicability are outlined and an estimate of error is made. A method of non-isothermal analysis is presented which facilitates rapid data evaluation over large temperature ranges and which justifies the previous applications in the literature of Kissinger's method to the analysis of crystallizations kinetics. An extension of these methods is made to the case of growth rates which obey a Vogel-Further temperature relation.
