1. Localized heating from PD may cause thermal degradation of the insulation. 2. The polymer electrolyte deteriorates by a thermal degradation mechanism of the conductive polymer. 3. The advent of the SEI layer improved performance, but increased vulnerability to thermal degradation . 4. Introducing MWNTs to polymers can improve flame retardancy and retard thermal degradation of polymer. 5. The thermal-oxidative degradation of a polymer starts at lower temperatures than the merely thermal degradation . 6. This is also called Pressure-Induced Thermal Degradation . 7. The polymer electrolyte has a small conductivity deterioration by a thermal degradation mechanism of the conductive polymer. 8. The termination of thermal degradation is achieved by mopping up the free radicals to create inert products. 9. The polymer electrolyte have a small deterioration of conductivity by a thermal degradation mechanism of the conductive polymer. 10. Computers are physical systems subject to wear, thermal degradation , and intervening factors like cosmic rays and electromagnetic interference.
