| Summary: | In this article, the influences of the metallic filler content upon the thermal degradability of polymer composites such as initial degradation temperature, maximum degradation temperature and char content have been critically reviewed using thermogravimetric analysis. Besides that, the review on the relationship between activation energies of polymer/metal composites, which was obtained from various degrade models, and the content of metallic fillers have also been defined. Other thermal properties such as glass transition temperature (Tg) and melting temperature (Tm) have also been reviewed based on the evaluation of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis. |
