Abstract
Degradations were carried out in dynamic heating conditions, from 35 °C to 700 °C, in both flowing nitrogen and static air atmosphere, and the characteristic parameters of degradation were determined in order to draw useful information about the overall thermal stability of the studied compounds. The apparent activation energy of degradation (Ea) was obtained by the Kissinger method, and the values found increased linearly as a function of ESESBS content, while the temperature values at 5% mass loss (T5%) showed an opposite linear trend. The results are discussed and interpreted.
