The thermal stability of HIPS/Fe-OMT nanocomposites increased significantly compared to that of HIPS examined in thermal degradation conditions. Kinetic evaluations were performed by Kissinger, Flynn-Wall-Ozawa, Friedman methods and multivariate nonlinear regression. Apparent kinetic parameters for the overall degradation were determined. The resuRs showed that the activation energy of HIPS/Fe-OMT nanocomposites was higher than that of HIPS.
