Deskripsi

Grafted anionic polyacrylamide gel has been synthesised in the laboratory following radical polymerisation process. Kinetics of thermal degradation of synthesised gel was evaluated under nonisthothermal condition by integral approximation method to determine the thermal stability of the material from thermogavometric study. The activation energy for the thermal degradation was found to be significantly high for the gel material.
