The kinetics of the heterogeneous, condensed-phase systems studied in thermal analytical techniques are often complex and usually affected by many experimental factors such as specimen geometry, thermal history, gaseous environment, etc. These complications impose many problems in experimental design, data analysis, and especially in interpretation of results. This paper concerns itself with practical applications of thermal analysis kinetics. Ways of overcoming, or at least ameliorating, some of the above problems are suggested, and caveats concerning overly simple and “canned” techniques of analysis of kinetics data are given. The limitations of one's reasonable expectations for the theoretical significance and empirical application of derived kinetics parameters are discussed.
