The thermal decomposition behavior and degradation kinetics of poly( N ‐adamantyl‐ exo ‐nadimide) were investigated with thermogravimetric analysis under dynamic conditions at five different heating rates: 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30°C/min. The derivative thermogravimetry curves of poly( N ‐adamantyl‐ exo ‐nadimide) showed that its thermal degradation process had one weight‐loss step. The apparent activation energy of poly( N ‐adamantyl‐ exo ‐nadimide) was estimated to be about 214.4 kJ/mol with the Ozawa–Flynn–Wall method. The most likely decomposition process was an F1 deceleration type in terms of the Coats–Redfern and Phadnis–Deshpande results. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 103: 3003–3009, 2007
