Kinetic compensation effect between the isothermal and non-isothermal decomposition of solids

A “true” kinetic compensation effect was established using the most appropriate kinetic functionF(α) for the non-isothermal decomposition of solids at various heating rates. It is likely that the correct kinetic mechanismF(α) is responsible for the “true” kinetic compensation effect, whereas an inappropriateF(α) would lead to “false” one. An establishment of such a “true” compensation effect between the isothermal and nonisothermal decompositions of a solid implies thatF(α) used is appropriate for both the isothermal and non-isothermal decompositions.
