Resumo
The non-isothermal thermogravimetric methods have been used extensively for the determination of kinetic parameters in polymers. The poly (ether ketones) are used as matrix in advanced high performance composites due its high thermal stability, excellent environmental performance and superior mechanical properties. In this work, the non-isothermal decomposition kinetics of the polymer poly (ether ether ketone) (PEEK) was evaluated in nitrogen and synthetic air atmospheres, using the Flynn-Wall-Ozawa and Coats Redfern models. The results showed that the necessary time for the material decomposes in 5% is approximately 216 years if it is submitted to temperatures of 350 degrees C in nitrogen atmosphere. On the other hand, if the material is submitted to air atmosphere, this decomposition time drops to about 1,05 years in the same temperature and for the same conversion rate. The decomposition kinetics study by Coats Redfern showed that the D3 mechanism (three-dimensional diffusion (Jander equation)) had better adjustment to the decomposition kinetics of the material in nitrogen atmosphere, while in synthetic air the R1 mechanism (phase boundary controlled reaction (one-dimensional movement)) has better adjustment to the decomposition kinetics of the material.
