Two sets of Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) studies of the pyrolytic degradation of plastics were carried out in a non-isothermal manner. Both investigations were conducted at temperature ranging from 303K to 1173K in a nitrogen atmosphere. The first study assessed the thermal characteristics of pu...
