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.

The product and kinetic analyses of the thermal decomposition of head-to-bead poly-amethyl styrene are investigated. From the results, a mechanism of breakdown is postulated.
Copolymers of 1,2,2,2-tetrachloroethyl esters of unsaturated acids and halogenated N-phenyl maleimides with styrene were pyrolyzed; volatile products were analyzed with a mass spectrometer combined with a gas chromatograph. Hydrogen halide and carbon dioxide in the volatile products were determined
## 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
