Abstract The kinetics of thermal decomposition of DBP in absence and in presence of amine were studied. The reaction were carried out in three polymeric media having the same functional groups but various molecular weights. The three chosen p1ymeric media were arranged in ascend order of molecular weight as follows:- viscous medium ’1’ viscous medium ”2’ viscous medium ”3’ The spontaneous decomposition reaction of DBP in absence of mine was found to be first order, but at high temperatures the order of the overall decomposition reaction may be three-halves. Activation energies of the values 82.4,96.3, and 114 ELJ/mole were obtained in viscous media 1,2, and 3 respectively. |
