If we see thermal analysis of any material with and without iron impregnation, the material will decompose at low temperatures when iron is present in it compared the pristine one. what is the reason for this phenomenon?
I am working on carbon nanotubes. Recently i did TGA measurements for CNTs with and without impregnation of iron oxides, from results what i observed is iron oxide assisted CNTs are decomposing at early temperatures compared to pristine sample. What could be the possible reason for it.
