A new kinetic model was developed to describe the thermal degradation behavior of polymers. The model was applied to predict the degradation of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) blended with propyl ester phosphazene (FR). The results showed that the thermal degradation mechanism of pure PMMA was domi

Abstract
An analysis of available methods of dealing with polymer crystallization for process modeling is presented. Problems encountered in using isothermal data to predict nonisothermal results are discussed and illustrated using experimental data for nylon 6. A half‐time analysis is used to evaluate and extrapolate the isothermal crystallization rates. It is concluded that none of the available models are entirely satisfactory for computing nonisothermal crystallization from isothermal data, though the Nakamura model is shown to be more satisfactory for process modeling than other models discussed in the literature. A nonlinear regression method is presented for directly fitting nonisothermal crystallinity data using the Nakamura model to obtain crystallization rate equation parameters. Two empirical methods for including amorphous orientation effects are also considered and evaluated by comparing predicted results to online experimental data for melt spinning of nylon 6.
