Abstract
The experimental study of the kinetics and modes of the thermal degradation of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) in an argon flow was carried out. During thermogravimetric analysis the sample heating rates were 2, 5, 8, 20 and 35 K/min. Based on the integral isoconversional method the values of the kinetic rate constants of the PMMA thermal degradation were determined. When modeling the decomposition process of PMMA for low conversion degrees, it is advisable to use the reaction rate constant obtained for the conversion degree equal to 20 %, and for modeling the whole process – 50 %. Therefore, for evaluation calculations, it is possible to describe the process of PMMA decomposition with one gross reaction. Also, the investigation of the thermal degradation of PMMA particles under conductive heating conditions (680, 700, 720 K) in an argon and air was carried out. Based on the analysis of the data obtained, a scheme for the decomposition of PMMA, consisting of four stages, was established.
期刊介绍:
Thermochimica Acta publishes original research contributions covering all aspects of thermoanalytical and calorimetric methods and their application to experimental chemistry, physics, biology and engineering. The journal aims to span the whole range from fundamental research to practical application.
The journal focuses on the research that advances physical and analytical science of thermal phenomena. Therefore, the manuscripts are expected to provide important insights into the thermal phenomena studied or to propose significant improvements of analytical or computational techniques employed in thermal studies. Manuscripts that report the results of routine thermal measurements are not suitable for publication in Thermochimica Acta.
The journal particularly welcomes papers from newly emerging areas as well as from the traditional strength areas:
- New and improved instrumentation and methods
- Thermal properties and behavior of materials
- Kinetics of thermally stimulated processes
