The kinetic parameters
of solid-state reactions are not intrinsic properties of an
investigated compound, but they can change depending on the
thermoanalytical conditions applied (PSTA-principle: Parametric
Sensitivity of Thermal Analysis). One can demonstrate the
PSTA-principle for changes in sample mass, gas concentration and flow
rate. Combined with model-fitting techniques, the fundamental
PSTA-principle is a prerequisite for a reliable solid state kinetic
analysis. For more information see: B. Roduit et al., Influence of
experimental conditions on the kinetic parameters of gas-solid
reactions, Parametric Sensitivity of Thermal Analysis, Thermochimica
