## Abstract Ammonium sulfate was compounded into polystyrene (PS) to modify thermal degradation of PS. At elevated temperatures, ammonium sulfate decomposes into ammonia, sulfuric acid and further into sulfur trioxide and water. The aim of the study was to investigate how these acidic and oxidizing

## Abstract The theromo‐oxidative decomposition, flash ignition and burning of high‐impact polystyrene containing the flame‐retardant system decabromodiphenyl oxide + antimony trioxide was investigated using the Setchkin apparatus combined with mass spectrometry. The time dependences of the release
## Abstract **Summary:** A conceptual model for degradation of polymer‐clay brushes is discussed. The model predicts enhancement of inter‐molecular reactions and slowing down of molecular mobility. A polystyrene (PS)‐clay brush system is experimentally compared with virgin PS under the conditions o
## Abstract **Summary:** Thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry have been used to study the thermal and thermo‐oxidative degradation of polystyrene (PS) and a PS–clay nanocomposite. An advanced isoconversional method has been applied for kinetic analysis. Introduction of the clay ph
TGA curves for the thermal decomposition of PS in nitrogen (dashed line) and air (solid line). Heating rates of 9.0 and 8.2 K N min -1 for nitrogen and air, respectively.
