Thermal and mechanical degradation during polymer extrusion processing (2007, background): “Most authors agree in considering thermal degradation below 2508C very limited and often negligible, although the presence of oxygen and/or mechanical stresses markedly reduces polymer stability [9–11]; in thermo-oxidative conditions, already at temperatures as low as 1808C, mechanical degradation o”
Flame retarded polyurea with microencapsulated ammonium phosphate for textile coating (2005, background): “Polyesters like PHMA undergo several scission reactions [28] and products stemmed from scission and rearrangement reactions are decomposed during the second stage.”
Thermal degradation behaviour of PE/clay nanocomposites (2004, background): “PE/EVA have a first step of weight loss between 300 (C and 350 (C due to the pyrolysis of acetic ester groups of vinyl acetate of EVA, with elimination of acetic acid [18,19].”
Kinetics of the Thermal and Thermo‐Oxidative Degradation of a Polystyrene–Clay Nanocomposite (2004, background): “These sites arise during polymerization that is carried out in the presence of oxygen, which gives rise to hydroperoxy([29]) and peroxy([30]) structures.”
