The synthesis, characterization and thermal degradation of yttrium and lanthanum methanesulfonates is reported. The prepared salts were characterized by elemental analysis and infrared spectroscopy. The thermal degradation study was performed using thermogravimetry (TG), differential thermal analysis (DTA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).Using the thermogravimetric data, a kinetic study of the dehydration ofY and Lamethanesulfonates was performed employing the Coats-Redfern and Zsak?methods. It was verified that under heating, yttrium and lanthanum methanesulfonates undergo three main processes: dehydration, thermal degradation and oxide formation. Furthermore, depending on the nature of the atmosphere, i.e., inert or oxidant, the thermal degradation process could be endothermic (N2) or exothermic (air).

The thermal degradation of polytetramethylene glycol (PTMG, Mn 1/42900) based polyurethane (PU), along with four different weight contents (such as 0.25, 0.50, 1.0, and 2.5 wt%) of functionalized multiwalled nanotube (MWNT) reinforced PUs are studied in air as well as in nitrogen atmosphere. The degradation results are reported in 10 and 50% weight loss and derivative of thermogravimetry (DTG). As expected, PUs are thermally more stable in nitrogen than in air. However, the influence of MWNT content on thermal stability is unclear. At 0.25 and 0.50 wt% of MWNT content, thermal stability declined and a further increase of MWNT improved the thermal stability of PU. Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) analysis is also performed for untreated and heat treated films in order to understand the degradation at different temperatures. Free C1/4O stretching neck dimension increases with increasing temperature which signifies breaking of H-bonding detected by FTIR measure ments.
