Investigation of thermal instability of benzoyl peroxide in the presence of carbazole and its derivatives

▸ DSC was used to evaluate the thermal hazards of BPO with carbazole. ▸ When BPO is mixed with carbazole and N-alkyl carbazole, the hazard increased. ▸ N-alkyl carbazole make the Tp for the decomposition of BPO reduce to 75 °C.
