4.1.1 Principle and theoretical approach

When studying the thermal decomposition of a material, in order to establish the reaction scheme to be implemented on a material scale, it is advisable to rely on a decomposition chemistry that is globally understood by the analysis of pyrolysis and decomposition gases, as an approach based solely on the observed mass loss is insufficient to select one of several possible reaction schemes.

To understand the phenomena...
