TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a set of recommendations for obtaining kinetic data that are adequate to the actual kinetics of various processes, including thermal decomposition of inorganic solids; thermal and thermo-oxidative degradation of polymers and organics; reactions of solids with gases; polymerization and crosslinking; crystallization of polymer and inorganics; hazardous processes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the concept of generalized time, introduced by Ozawa, has been used to define master plots for the analysis of solid-state reactions, regardless of the type of temperature program used for recording the experimental data.

TL;DR: The present recommendations provide guidance on kinetic analysis of multi-step processes as measured by thermal analysis methods such as thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry.

TL;DR: A 10-year cooperative effort between the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and five major journals in the field of thermophysical and thermochemical properties to improve the quality of published reports of experimental data is described in this article.

TL;DR: In this paper, the enthalpy change and activation energy of the crystallization process increased with increasing pH value of sample preparation, ranging from 3.99 to 12.26kJ(mol CaCO 3 ) −1 and from 151.6 to 304.1kJ (kJ)mol −1, respectively.
