Abstract
The kinetics of the first order autocatalytic decomposition reaction of highly nitrated nitrocellulose (HNNC, 14.14%N) was studied by using thermogravimetry (TG). The results show that the TG curve for the initial 50% of mass-loss of HNNC can be described by the first order autocatalytic equation
and that for the latter 50% mass-loss of HNNC described by the reaction equations
