The Role of Heat Transfer Limitations in Polymer Pyrolysis at the Microscale

Pyrolysis of synthetic or natural polymers is an important process in many industries such as fire safety, thermal recycling, and biomass power generation. The kinetics of pyrolysis is usually studied by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), which is based on measuring the mass loss of a microscale samp...
