Abstract
The rate constants and kinetic parameters for the thermal oxidative de gradation of nylon-6 in the presence of metal oxides show the existenc e of a true kinetic compensation effect. This pattern of behaviour amo ngst metal oxides in the oxdiative degradation of nylon-6 has been lin ked to the higher oxidation state. The behaviour suggests that the rea ction follows a redox or electron transfer mechanism due to tunnelling of electrons.
