The thermal decomposition of poly(n-butyl methacrylate)(Pn-BMA) was studied using a dynamic and isothermal thermogravimetry in nitrogen gas with 50㎖/min at several heating rates from 1 to 20℃/min, and at several heating temperature from 320 to 370℃. The mathematical techniques used for calculation of activation energy were Kissinger, Anderson, Chatterjee-Conrad, Friedman, Fuoss, Ozawa and isolthermal method. The range of activation energies obtained using the several techniques was between 43 and 51 Kcal/㏖ except Chatterjee-Conrad and this range agreed with each other very well. The thermal degradation of Pn-BMA was considered to be carried out by main chain scission.
