Abstract
Rare earth (Dy, Nd, Pr and Tb) metal soaps that can be used as stabili zers for PVC, were synthesized from lauric acid. The thermal stability studies of these samples were conducted by employing differential the rmal analysis in dynamic nitrogen atmosphere. The results reveal that these metal laurates start to degrade at temperatures higher than thos e required for lauric acid. Dysprosium laurate is the most stable havi ng a melting point of 145 degrees C.
