CRTA for the Thermoanalytical Screening of Volatile Compounds. 3. Study onthermal destruction process, taking place simultaneously with evaporation process

Quasi-equilibrium thermogravimetry (variant of CRTA) is put to use as an ex press method of thermoanalytical screening for volatile compounds. During t he experiments for P-T relationship calculations (running with several cali brated standard sample holders) the non-volatile (polymerized) residue is f ormed (and is decomposed with further temperature rising). Thermogravimetri c data are used for the calculation of the kinetic parameters for the polym erization reaction, taking place (concurrently with the evaporation) in the melt of the studied volatile compound.
