KINETICS OF NYLON AND PHENOLIC PYROLYSIS

Abstract

The report describes the pyrolysis kinetics of nylon 6-6 and phenolic CTL 91-LD, as derived from thermogravimetric analysis data (TGA). Individual rate equations and kinetic coefficients for the two polymers are presented and combined to yield a multi-step pyrolysis rate equation for composited nylon/ phenolic. The derived rate equations are verified by comparing them to thermogravimetric data taken at rates of sample temperature rise varying from 3C/min to 100C/min. Weight-loss data for the nylon/phenolic composite, during both isothermal pyrolysis and pyrolysis at programmed rates of temperature rise, are accurately correlated by the multistep pyrolysis rate equation.
