ARANZAZU RIOS, Laura María et al. KINETIC MODELS OF POLYMER THERMAL DECOMPOSITION: A REVIEW. Rev. ing. univ. Medellín [online]. 2013, vol.12, n.23, pp.113-129. ISSN 1692-3324.

This review is focused on the adjustment of parameters for kinetic models of polymer thermal decomposition by using thermogravimetry. First, fundamentals of data analysis are described and basic equations are summarized. Then, kinetic models are classified according to the following categories: isothermal, differential, integral, and isoconversional. Approaches to the Arrhenius integral are shown in a separate section. Finally, a classification scheme is provided in order to choose the data analysis method and some new expressions developed from approaches to the Arrhenius integral are depicted.

Keywords : Kinetics; polymers; thermal decomposition; Arrhenius integral.
