Abstract

Thermal behaviour of copolymers of methyl methacrylate (MMA) with iso-octyliso-decyl methacrylate was investigated using dynamic thermogravimetry, mass spectroscopy and pyrolysis gas chromatography. The copolymer samples were stable upto 250 °C. Total loss in weight was observed around 400 °C. The degradation in homopolymers as well as copolymers proceeded by predominans loss of monomer.

Zusammenfassung

Mittels dynamischer Thermogravimetrie, Massenspektroskopie und Pyrolysengaschromatographie wurde das thermische Verhalten von Kopolymeren aus Methylmethacrylat (MMA) und Isooktyl/Isodecyl-methacrylat untersucht. Die Kopolymerproben waren bis 250 °C stabil. Ein vollständiger Gewichtsverlust wurde bei 400 °C beobachtet. Der Abbau sowohl der Homopolymere als auch der Kopolymere erfolgt durch eine überwiegende Abgabe von Monomeren.

Резюме

С помощью динамическ ой термогравиметрии, масс-спектроскопии и пиролизной газовой хроматограф ии изучено термическ ое поведение сополимеров метилме такрилата и изооктил /изо-децилметакрилат а. изооктил/изо-децилме такрилата. Сополимеры устойчив ы до температуры 250°. По лная потеря веса происходит при темпе ратуре около 400°. Дегра дация гомополимеров, также как и сополимеров протекает с преоблад ающей потерей мономе ра.
