TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the evidence of non-Arrhenius behavior (curvature) instead of linear extrapolations in polymer degradation studies, and found that the high temperature process had a considerably higher activation energy (107 −156 kJ/mol) than the low temperature process (35 −50 kJ /mol).

TL;DR: The self-diffusion coefficient of water is reported to be −31°C, where the activation energy reaches 11 kcal/mole compared with 45 kcal /mole at 25°C.

TL;DR: In this article, a general approach for more confidently correlating accelerated aging results with aging under service conditions using the Arrhenius methodology was presented, where oxygen consumption rates at high (accelerated) temperatures, to establish the necessary correlation, and at low temperatures (down to 23 °C), to determine their temperature-dependence in the extrapolation region.

TL;DR: Auxiliary Mechanism for Transfer to Monomer during Vinyl Chloride Polymerization: Implications for Thermal Stability of Poly(vinyl chloride) Thermal Stability, Degradation, and Stabilization Mechanisms of Poly (vinyl chloride) Thermolysis of poly(n-Butyl methacrylate) Oxyluminescence of Cross-Linked Amine Epoxies: Diglycidylether of Bisphenol A-Diaminodiphenyl Sulfone System Chemiluminescence Analysis and Computed X

TL;DR: In this article, the authors combine diffusion and kinetic expressions with chemical/mechanical property relationships to develop a complete quantitative model with no arbitrarily adjustable parameters for the time development of diffusion-limited oxidation profiles.
