Estimation of Polymer Lifetime by TGA Decomposition Kinetics

Estimating polymer lifetime is critical for applications where long-term reliability matters, such as insulation materials in nuclear reactors and power systems. Traditional methods can take months, but Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) offers a faster alternative. ABSTRACT In many polymer applications the ability to predict product lifetime is valuable because the costs of premature failure in actual…
