Thermochemical and kinetic studies on the effects of cobalt salicylate on the oxidative degradation of polystyrene

Abstract: The effect of cobalt salicylate on the oxidative degradation and ignition of polystyrene has been studied. It was found that cobalt salicylate sensitizes both the degradation and ignition of polystyrene by facilitating electron-transfer processes in the propagation step. From thermochemical and kinetic studies it was found that the cobalt ion, owing to its ability to exist in variable valence states, promotes electron transfer in the propagation step of polymer degradation, increasing the rate of propagation a… Show more

“…The order of reaction for the main decomposition step of all the investigated copolymers was equal to one, similarly as for the comparative PS and in accord with the common observation that the degradation of vinyl polymers usually follows first-order kinetics [13].…”
