PERMISSIBLE SUPERHEATING TEMPERATURES OF CONDENSED MATERIALS IN THERMODECOMPOSITION CONDITIONS

Contact methods of thermal analysis are used to determine the permissi ble superheating temperature of condensed materials in conditions of t hermodecomposition; these methods permit fast heating of the samples t o the constant temperature at which isothermal testing is conducted. T he results obtained for the limiting thermodecomposition temperatures are given for some polymer and nonpolymer materials, and are compared with literature data; the results indicate satisfactory accuracy of th e test method.
