A Fast Estimation of Activation Energy of Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE)

Abstract

A dynamic experimental study of thermal decomposition of low density polyethylene has been carried out with two different heating rates .As usual , we can determine the activation energy of any polymer using( 3 - 6 ) TGA experiment as minimum , but in this work , we estimate the activation energy of LDPE using two of TGA experiments only
