ISO 11358-3:2013

Plastics — Thermogravimetry (TG) of polymers — Part 3: Determination of the activation energy using the Ozawa-Friedman plot and analysis of the reaction kinetics

ISO 11358-3:2013 specifies an analysis method for determining the activation energy using the Ozawa-Friedman plot. It also specifies the preparation of master plots for verification of the reaction kinetics determined by thermogravimetry.

The Ozawa-Friedman plot (logarithm of the rate of mass loss versus the reciprocal of absolute temperature at a given mass loss) is a derivative method that can be applied to data obtained by any mode of temperature change in thermal analysis; e.g. isothermal, constant heating rate, sample-controlled thermal analysis, temperature jump, and repeated temperature scanning.
