TL;DR: Based on TGA-FTIR analysis and model free integral kinetics method, the pyrolysis mechanism of PKS was elaborated in this article, where the activation energy dependent on the conversion rate was estimated by two model-free integral methods: Flynn-Wall-Ozawa (FWO) and Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose (KAS).

TL;DR: In this paper, a new method of obtaining the kinetic parameters from thermogravimetric curves has been proposed, which is simple and applicable to reactions which can not be analyzed by other methods.
Abstract: A new method of obtaining the kinetic parameters from thermogravimetric curves has been proposed. The method is simple and applicable to reactions which can not be analyzed by other methods. The effect of the heating rate on thermogravimetric curves has been elucidated, and the master curve of the experimental curves at different heating rates has been derived. The applications of the method to the pyrolyses of calcium oxalate and nylon 6 have been shown ; the results are in good agreement with the reported values. The applicability of the method to other types of thermal analyses has been discussed, and the method of the conversion of the data to other conditions of temperature change has been suggested. From these discussions, the definition of the thermal stability of materials has been criticized.

TL;DR: In this article, a technique was devised for obtaining rate laws and kinetic parameters which describe the thermal degradation of plastics from TGA data, based on the inter-comparison of experiments which were performed at different linear rates of heating.
Abstract: A technique was devised for obtaining rate laws and kinetic parameters which describe the thermal degradation of plastics from TGA data. The method is based on the inter-comparison of experiments which were performed at different linear rates of heating. By this method it is possible to determine the activation energy of certain professes without knowing the form of the kinetic equation. This technique was applied to fiberglass-reinforced CTL 91-LD phenolic resin, where the rate law - (1/we)(dw/dt) = 1018e−55,000/RT [(w - wf)/w0,]5, nr.−1, was found to apply to a major part of the degradation. The equation was successfully tested by several techniques, including a comparison with constant temperature data that were available in the literature. The activation energy was thought to be correct within 10 kcal.

TL;DR: It is concluded that methods involving a variable rate of heating or involving several thermogravimetric traces at different rates of heating are capable of establishing the uniqueness of kinetic parameters.
Abstract: Theoretical equations are developed for typical decompositions of polymers including those in which the volatilization does not follow a simple "reaction order" and those made up of a composite of several reactions of differing energies of activation. The effects of order, activation energy, heating rate and temperature dependence upon the calculated thermograms is illustrated. The literature on thermogravimetric kinetics is critically reviewed and coalesced into a logical and coherent development stressing the interrelation of methods and employing a consistent system of notation. As a result, a number of improved methods and new methods for the analysis of kinetic data applicable to the complex systems mentioned above are developed. It is concluded that methods involving a variable rate of heating or involving several thermogravimetric traces at different rates of heating are capable of establishing the uniqueness of kinetic parameters. A new method of determining initial parameters from rate-conversion data is developed. A novel concept is employed of programming reaction variables (in this case, the heating rate) in a manner which greatly simplifies the mathematics of the kinetic system and which shows promise of a wide range of applicability in the area of rate processes.
