with n = I, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 10 have been studied. Activation energies have been calculated for all the copolymers at various stages of decomposition. Apart from the n = 1 sample, the copolymers have similar values for the activation energy of the overall reaction. Surveys of stability using programmed and isothermal thermogravimetry both showed the same trends in behaviour.

## Abstract The kinetics of gas‐phase decomposition of methyl isocyanate have been investigated in the range of 427–548°C. Two decomposition routes are followed; the predominant one is a radical‐chain process giving CO, H~2~, and HCN as major products, which has an order of 1.5 and an Arrhenius equ
