Study of Thermal Degradation of Polymers

Article Preview

Abstract:

This article deals with measurements of selected waste polymers in the combustion process. The technology of controlled burning occupies an important position in the process of waste disposal. Therefore it is necessary to assess the behaviour of materials in the process of thermal degradation by fire characteristics. An experiment was conducted in accordance with standard STN ISO 871: 2010 Plastics. Determination of ignition temperature using a hot-air furnace. There were studied a mass loss rate of the samples in their degradation and also monitored some products of combustion.
