new protocol for modeling of thermal degradation kinetics of epoxy nanocomposites

In this research, the selection of the best model to investigate the kinetics of thermal degradation of epoxy nanocomposites in the presence of ufnbr elastomer nanoparticles is discussed. at first, the thermogravimetric test was performed at heating rates of 10, 15 and 20 oc/min in a nitrogen environment. the models of coates redfern, broido, vyazovkin, kissinger, ozawa, miura maki, starink, friedman ,horowitz metzger and kim park were examined. a new protocol was presented based on the maximum temperature of thermal degradation in order to select the best model to described the thermal degradation reaction of epoxy nanocomposites.
