Material Properties and Processing

In this paper, we present new thermogravimetic analysis on cardboard material performed at different heating rates. Several reaction schemes are proposed to serve as an interpretation basis. Considering the experiments independently, it is found that the best fitted parameters are highly sensitive upon the heating rate. In order to avoid complicated and hazardous interpolation schemes, a simplest interpretation is proposed that does not involve a heating rate dependency on the kinetic parameters.
