Kinetic studies of the Decomposition of Flame Retardant Containing High Impact Polystyrene
Guido Grausea, Jun Ishibashia, Tomohito Kamedaa, Thallada Bhaskarb, Toshiaki Yoshiokaa* a The thermal decomposition of flame retardant free high-impact polystyrene (HIPS) and four HIPS samples containing brominated flame retardants has been studied using TGA at different heating rates between 2.5 and 10 K min-1. Decabromodiphenyl ether (DPE) and decabromodibenzyl (DDB) were used as flame retardants, and two of the samples contained antimony trioxide (Sb2O3) synergist besides the brominated additives. The activation energies
compensation effect was observed and used for the identification of changes in the
