This study investigated the effects of layered clay on the thermal curing behavior and tensile properties of resole phenol-formaldehyde (PF) resin/clay/cellulose nanocomposites. The thermal curing behavior of the nanocomposite was characterized using conventional differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and temperature modulated (TMDSC). The addition of clay was found to accelerate resin curing,...

A method has been suggested for the estimation of nonisothermal kinetic parameters from TG curve at any temperature. This would help to resole reactions from a single thermogram. Some methods have been suggested to calculate nonisothermal kinetic parameters for some reactions. Intreraisokinetic or intrakinetic compensation effect technique is employed to resolve reactions. Calcium oxalate decom...
