Abstract

In the present contribution, a procedure to estimate parameters using non-isothermal data was applied. The estimation procedure is based on the use of an energy balance in DSC furnace. The approach found all kinetic parameters of autocatalytic model (E 1, E 2, A 1, A 2, m, n) besides the ultimate reaction heat and their confidence regions by using deterministic and heuristic algorithms. The application of this approach to isothermal data was done in a previous work and similar results were obtained. The results show that the use of an energy balance is a good methodology to estimate cure kinetic parameters of non-isothermal experiments.
