TL;DR: In this paper, the volatile products from pyrolysis of wood in air have been determined by coupled thermal gravimetry/Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (TG/FTIR), both isothermally at 523 K and with progressive heating to 750 K.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on the error produced from the weight change in the sample during an experiment and use this information to enhance the heat of reaction calculations from a DSC experiment.

TL;DR: In this article, three chlorinated polyethylene samples were decomposed in an atmosphere of air using a Du Pont thermogravimetric analyzer and selected gas products were identified along a thermogram using a Fourier-transform IR spectrometer and a gas Chromatograph.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of chlorine on the decomposition rate of high density polyethylene (HDPE) was investigated in an ongoing study to be carried out in atmospheres of nitrogen, air, and oxygen.
