Wood has been treated with amino resins and amino resins modified with phosphoric acid to impart flame retardancy. The thermal degradation of samples has been studied by thermogravimetry (TG) in air. From the resulting data, kinetic parameters for different stages of thermal degradation are obtained following the method of Broido. For the decomposition of wood and flame retardant wood, the activation energy is found to decrease from 122 to 72 kJmol-1.

The thermal decomposition kinetics of RDX at different rates was studied by thermogravimetric analyzer(TG) and the activation energy of RDX was calculated by distributed activation energy model. It is shown that the thermal decomposition processes of RDX were divided into three stages according to the TG curves, they are molten stage, thermal decomposition stage and eng stage. The activation energies of RDX are all between 124.34 and 181.48KJ•mol-1 in the thermal decomposition stage of non-monotonously increasing. The activation energy of RDX is 139.98 KJ•mol-1 in the molten stage, and the thermal decomposition stage is167.24KJ•mol-1.

The thermal decomposition kinetics of polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) and flame-retardant PBT (FR-PBT) were investigated by thermogravimetric analysis at various heating rates. The kinetic parameters were determined by using Kissinger, Flynn-Wall-Ozawa and Friedman methods. The y (α) and z (α) master plots were used to identify the thermal decomposition model. The results show that the rate of residual carbon of FR-PBT is higher than that of PBT and the maximum mass loss rate of FR-PBT is lower than that of PBT. The values of activation energy of PBT (208.71 kJ/mol) and FR-PBT (244.78 kJ/mol) calculated by Kissinger method were higher than those of PBT (PBT: 195.54 kJ/mol) and FR-PBT (FR-PBT: 196.00 kJ/mol) calculated by Flynn-Wall-Ozawa method and those of PBT and FR-PBT (PBT: 199.10 kJ/mol, FR-PBT: 206.03 kJ/mol) calculated by Friedman methods. There is a common thing that the values of activation energy of FR-PBT are higher than that of PBT in different methods. The thermal decomposition reaction models of the PBT and FR-PBT can be described by Avarami-Erofeyev model (A1).

Abstract Wood-SiO2 composites (WSiO2Cs) were prepared by means of the sol-gel process with methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMOS) as a reagent, and the physical properties, structure and thermal decomposition kinetics of the composites has been evaluated. The dimensional stability of the WSiO2Cs was better than that of unmodified wood, especially in terms of the weight percent gain (WPG), which achieved values up to 30%. The 29Si-NMR spectra show two different siloxane peaks (T2 and T3), which supports the theory about the formation of MTMOS network structures. Thermal decomposition experiments were also carried out in a TG analyzer under a nitrogen atmosphere. The apparent activation energy was determined according to the iso-conversional methods of Friedman, Flynn-Wall-Ozawa, modified Coats-Redfern, and Starink. The apparent activation energy between 10 and 70% conversion is 147–172, 170–291, 189–251, and 192–248 kJ mol−1 for wood and WSiO2Cs with WPGs of 10, 20, and 30%, respectively. However, the reaction order between 10 and 70% conversion calculated by the Avrami theory was 0.50–0.56, 0.35–0.45, 0.33–0.44, and 0.28–0.48. These results indicate that the dimensional and thermal stability of the wood could be effectively enhanced by MTMOS treatment.

In present work, the thermal decomposition behaviour and kinetics of proteins, carbohydrates and lipids is studied by use of models derived from mass-loss data obtained from thermogravimetric analysis of Scenedesmus microalgae. The experimental results together with known decomposition temperature range values obtained from various literature were used in a deconvolution technique to model the thermal decomposition of proteins, carbohydrates and lipids. The models fitted well (R2 > 0.99) and revealed that the proteins have the highest reactivity followed by lipids and carbohydrates. Generally, the decomposition kinetics fitted well with the Coats-Redfern first and second order kinetics as evidenced by the high coefficients of determination (R2 > 0.9). For the experimental conditions used in this work (i.e. high heating rates), the thermal decomposition of protein follows second order kinetics with an activation energy in the range of 225.3-255.6 kJ/mol. The thermal decomposition of carbohydrate also follows second order kinetics with an activation energy in the range of 87.2-101.1 kJ/mol. The thermal decomposition of lipid follows first order kinetics with an activation energy in the range of 45-64.8 kJ/ mol. This work shows that the thermal decomposition kinetics of proteins, carbohydrates and lipids can be performed without the need of experimentally isolating the individual components from the bulk material. Furthermore, it was shown that at high heating rates, the decomposition temperatures of the individual components overlap resulting in some interactions that have a synergistic effect on the thermal reactivity of carbohydrates and lipids.

A comparative thermal decomposition kinetic studies of Cu(II) complexes of 1,2-bis (imino-4-antipyrinyl) ethane(GA) and4-N-(4'-antipyrylmethylidene) aminoantipyrine (AA) with a variety of counter anions viz. ClO4-, NO3-, Cl- and Br- has been evaluated by TG analysis. The kinetic parameters activation energy (E), pre-exponential factor (A) and entropy of activation (∆S) were calculated by using Coats–Redfern equation. This study shows that the thermal decomposition kinetics has been controlled by the ligand field as well as the counter anions.

This study inspected the thermal decomposition kinetics of core-shell structured wood-plastic composite material with white mud loading in the shell. The thermal decomposition was studied via thermogravimetric analysis under nitrogen atmosphere. Experiments were performed at different heating rates of 5, 10, 20, 30, and 40 °C/min from ambient temperature to 700 °C. Multivariate linear regression analysis was applied to estimate the activation energy with the Flynn–Wall–Ozawa method, and the thermal aging life equations of composites were obtained as described in ASTM E1877 (2000). The results showed that the combustion characteristic parameters (T5%, Tp1, Tp2, and Tp3) increased at first and then decreased with increased white mud concentration. Accordingly, the average apparent activation energy (Ea) values of thermal decomposition with conversion rates ranging between 20% and 80% were 222 kJ/mol for high-density polyethylene (HDPE) shell layer and the average values of 201, 226, 201, 207, and 223 kJ/mol were achieved with white mud loading of 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25% in the shell layer, respectively. There were no remarkable dependencies among them. The service life tf (min) and the service temperature T (K) of the core-shell structured wood-plastic composites were experimentally determined.
