Investigation of the thermal decomposition kinetics of polyacrylamide using a dynamic TG technique

In this study, the kinetic parameters for the thermal decomposition of polyacrylamide are established with the use of a dynamic TG technique. Kinetic parameters which involve activation energy, reaction order and pre-exponential factor are found to be 157.48 ± 1.66 kJ mol-1,1 and 6.46 ×1011 respectively. © 1987
