Thermal properties of composites obtained from TG/DTG.
Performance | Average Value for UTFC | Average Value for ATFC | p Value (t-Test) for UTFC and ATFC (α = 0.05) | Significant Difference | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Peak temperatures (°C) | I | 75.7 ± 1.4 | 73.7 ± 2.1 | 0.252 | No |
II | 302.1 ± 2.5 | 292.4 ± 5.3 | 0.045 | Yes | |
III | 357.6 ± 2.7 | 346.5 ± 1.0 | 0.002 | Yes | |
Weight loss (%) | I | 5.3 ± 0.5 | 3.2 ± 1.1 | 0.038 | Yes |
II | 44.2 ± 1.3 | 34.4 ± 3.1 | 0.007 | Yes | |
III | 76.3 ± 1.1 | 68.1 ± 1.0 | 0.001 | Yes |
Note: Two-sided t-test in ANOVA, and α is a significant level. For p ≥ 0.05, there is no significant difference.
