Abstract

The thermal degradation behaviours of poly(ethylene glycol allenyl methyl ether) (PEGA), poly(ethylene glycol allenyl methyl ether) macromonomer, Mn590, (PEGA590), and their copolymers with styrene at various compositions were investigated by thermogravimetry (TG) and differential thermogravimetry (DTG). The homopolymers and copolymers exhibit a one step degradation curve. The thermal stabilities of the copolymers are intermediate between those of the two homopolymers. PEGA exhibits low thermal stability resultant from the thermal instabilities of the CO bonds of the side chains and the CC bonds β to the double bonds of the polymer.

Cross-linking occurs in the PMDS from the reactions of diffusing radicals from the other components [234]. The PC component in polystyrene (PS) and bisphenol A polycarbonate (PC) blends is destabilized, probably by small radicals migrating from the PS phase [235], while in polymethoxystyrene (PMeS) and bisphenol A polycarbonate (PC) blends the PC component is destabilized, probably by small radicals migrating from the PMeS phase [236]. Furthermore, interaction occurs during the degradation of poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) and poly-4-bromostyrene (PBrS) blends resulting in some stabilization of the PBrS.
Coordination of poly(diethylene glycol allenyl methyl ether) with some transition metal salts and characterization of the products
1999, Polymer Degradation and Stability
Coordinated polymers from poly(diethylene glycol allenyl methyl ether), (PDEGA),with Ni(II), Cu(II), Co(II) and Fe(III) salts have been prepared in ethanol solution of diethylene glycol allenyl methyl ether (DEGA) using AIBN as initiator. The coordinated polymers have been studied by elemental analysis and infrared spectroscopy. The IR spectral data of polychelates suggest that the metals are coordinated through the oxygen atoms of the diethylene glycol, and the oxygen atom of the methoxy group. Thermal behaviors of the coordinated polymers were studied by thermogravimetric analysis, and the order of stabilities is given. The activation energies of the polymers degradation are determined and discussed.
Characterization and evaluation of copolymers of endallenoxy polyoxyethylene macromonomers and N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone
1999, European Polymer Journal
Polyethylene glycol allenyl methyl ether macromonomers (M₁), having M̄_n=390 and 590 were copolymerized with N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone (M₂) using AIBN as an initiator in benzene. The reactivity ratios were calculated based on a ¹H NMR method, and their values are discussed. r₁ decreased from 0.64 to 0.12 and r₂ increased from 0.46 to 0.86 with increasing molecular weight of the macromonomers. Characterization of the polymers was performed by IR, NMR and GPC techniques. Thermal properties of the polymers were investigated by a TG/DTG method. The thermal stabilities of the copolymers are intermediate between those of the homopolymers and degradation occurs in three stages. The polymers have amphiphilic properties and are soluble in a variety of solvents including alcohols and water.
Graft copolymerization of end allenoxy polyoxyethylene macromonomer onto ethyl cellulose in a homogeneous system
1999, European Polymer Journal
The homogeneous grafting of end-allenoxy polyoxyethylene macromonomers (M_n=390; PEGA39) onto ethyl cellulose (EC) was carried out using α–α′-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as free radical initiator in benzene as solvent. The grafting percentage, grafting efficiency and weight conversion were determined as a function of polymerization temperature, and the concentration of PEGA39, EC and initiator. The graft copolymers were characterized by infrared spectroscopy and intrinsic viscosity measurements. The observed low grafting efficiency of PEGA39 macromonomer onto EC are attributed to steric or excluded volume effect, involving repulsion between the growing chain and that of macromonomer and EC chains. The mechanism of the grafting reaction was proposed.
