Abstract

Methods for kinetic description of induction periods, based on the single-step kinetics approximation and various expressions of the temperature functions, are presented. The formulas for evaluation of both isothermal and non-isothermal lengths of induction periods are derived. Use of the formulas is demonstrated on the thermooxidative degradation of polyolefines. The kinetic parameters obtained from isothermal and non-isothermal experiments are compared and possible reasons of inconsistencies are analyzed. Applications of the determination of induction periods for thermooxidation of various systems are reviewed. The theory outlined in this paper can be applied not only for thermooxidation in condensed phase, but also for other processes exhibiting the induction period, such as the curing of rubber compounds, recrystallization of nickel sulfide and crystallization of silicate and metal glasses.
