Abstract
The procedures used in some very recent works for evaluation of the kinetic parameters from non-isothermal data corresponding to thermal and thermo-oxidative degradation of polymers and polymeric materials are critically analysed. It is pointed out that only the use of a set of conversion degree vs. temperature curves recorded at different heating rates can give reliable information on the degradation mechanism and in some suitable cases, can...
