From a review of the literature it is shown that kinetics from programmed heating rate experiments are often in serious disagreement with published isothermal data. In every case, including the present, the dynamic kinetic parameters measured on epoxies are significantly larger than the isothermal. Use of a dynamic rate equation provides good agreement between the two experiments. It is also shown that the Kissinger method is correct when applied to DSC of epoxies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
