TGA/DSC analysis using a heating rate of 10 °C·min–1 from room temperature to 1000 °C under a constant nitrogen flow rate of 100 mL·min–1. Comparison between the thermal behavior of raw MDF, MDF impregnated with Ni(NO3)2 isopropanol-based solution55 and MDF impregnated with Ni(NO3)2 water-based solution: (a) Weight curve (left; solid lines) and derivative weight loss (right; dashed lines) versus temperature during pyrolysis; (b) heat flow curve versus temperature (black arrows point to the exothermic reactions).
