Peter Farrington

I guess you start by measuring rate constants and then look at their temperature dependence. The classic methods are dilatometry or spectroscopy, but there are many alternatives.

Md. Abdur Rahman

You can simply try gravimetric method for kinetics or if the polymer is soluble then you try NMR. For thermal property you may try DSC and TGA.
