An overview of the literature together with selected authors' data on thermal and thermo‐
oxidative decomposition of commercial aliphatic nylons (nylon 6, nylon 7, nylon 11, nylon …

Polyamides (PA) are a family of engineering thermoplastics used in a wide range of
applications including automotive, building, construction, separation processes, textiles, and …

The ablative performance of poly (caprolactam)(nylon 6) nanocomposites is examined. A
relatively tough, inorganic char forms during the ablation of these nanocomposites resulting …

The primary thermal degradation mechanisms of polyethyleneterephthalate (PET) and
polybutyleneterephthalate (PBT) have been studied by direct pyrolysis mass spectrometry …

Abstract Polyamide 12 (PA12) has found significant applications in the medical device
industry, including its common use as an outer jacket layer in catheters. Like all polymers …

This paper is concerned with the processes of thermal degradation of nylon 6 and nylon 6, 6,
which lead to crosslinking and the production of involatile char. The techniques used in this …

The chemical recycling of poly (lactide)(PLA), especially the initial depolymerization step
was studied. High molecular weight PLA was depolymerized in the presence of zinc catalyst …

The thermal degradation of the polyamides (PA) 6, 12, 66 and 612 was investigated by
means of thermal analysis/mass spectrometry (TA–MS) and pyrolysis in a german standard …

Novel, semicrystalline polyamides and co (polyamides) were synthesized from biobased
sebacic acid (SA), 2, 5-diamino-2, 5-dideoxy-1, 4; 3, 6-dianhydroiditol (diaminoisoidide …

The thermal degradation of polyamide 6 (PA-6) occurs through competing mechanisms
leading to caprolactam, chain fragments with nitrile and carbon-carbon unsaturated chain …
