In the present work thermogravimetric techniques were used to study thermal degradation of high-density cork granules. Pyrolysis experiments carried out for four heating ramps (10, 15, 20 and 25 °C.min?1), using nitrogen as carrier gas. From differential (DTG) curves it was seen that mainly occurs from 220 °C 525 main components (suberin, lignin, cellulose, hemicellulose). It also observed temp...

Polyurethanes and polyurethane-ureas were prepared by the reaction of diethylene glycol and polyethylene glycol with excess of aromatic and aliphatic diisocyanate to yield isocyanate terminated prepolymers which were subsequently reacted with diols and diamines. These polymers were characterized by IR, 1HNMR spectra, viscosity measurements and thermogravimetric analysis.

Beech sawdust was reacted with phthalic (PA) and maleic (MA) anhydrides for chemical modification. The influence of reaction time and anhydride amount was investigated. IR spectra gave evidence of wood esterification. Thermogravimetric investigation of chemically modified wood indicated a better thermal stability (mainly for wood treated with phthalic anhydride) in comparison with the untreated...
