Abstract
Thermogravimetric analysis of azo-peroxyesters revealed two decomposition stages on TG curves. Molecular nitrogen is released in the first stage and carbon dioxide in the second. Fitting the thermogravimetric data by means of the three-parameter model and a classic one based on an Arrhenius-type kinetic equation showed that the former approach satisfactorily describes the process within the wide range of the extent of decomposition. It was found that two coefficients of the three-parameter equation are related to the temperature of maximum reaction rate. One of the coefficients of the three-parameter equation is also related to the activation energy. The compounds investigated can be grouped with respect to their kinetic characteristics, structure and stage of decomposition.
