The effect of ammonium polyphosphate (APP) on thermal and thermo-oxidative degradation of polystyrene (PS) was studied with methods of Thermogravimetry (TG), Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS), Thermochromatography (ThGC), Size Exclusion Chromatography (SEC), and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectra (IR). APP slightly accelerated thermal degradation of PS in nitrogen due to its acidity. However, whether APP accel erated or retarded thermo-oxidative degradation of PS much depended on addi tion levels in air. At the low addition levels, APP seemed to retard thermal degradation of PS via formation of a glassy layer; at the high addition levels, APP seemed to accelerate thermal degradation of PS due to its acidity.

AbstractThe thermal and thermo-oxidative processes in Aroniamelanocarpa (black chokeberry) were investigated using combined thermo-analytical (TG-DTA) and spectroscopic (FTIR) experimental techniques. Isoconversional analysis revealed that the process in an inert (argon) atmosphere was probably governed by chlorogenic acid degradation, where autocatalysis (described by the empirical Šesták–Berggren model) might occur due to water already present in the early stages of the process through hydrolysis. Thermal degradation is described by the intrinsic kinetic parameters, where the degradation rate increases proportionally with an increase in the heating rate. Under oxidative conditions, the process was found to be primarily driven by neochlorogenic acid degradation. The thermo-oxidative degradation of
