The thermal degradation characteristics of block copolymers of poly(2-vinylpyridine) with polystyrene, PS-b-P2VP, polyisoprene, PI-b-P2VP and poly(methyl methacrylate), P2VP-b-PMMA, were investigated via pyrolysis mass spectrometry. DP-MS analyses indicated that the thermal degradation of each component of the copolymers, except P2VP-b-PMMA, occurred independently through the decomposition pathways proposed for the corresponding homopolymers. In case of P2VP-b-PMMA, significant decrease in the thermal stability of P2VP chains and evolution of products generated due to strong interaction between P2VP and PMMA chains were detected.

In this work, thermal degradation of copolymers of poly(methy methacrylate) namely, poly(methyl methacrylate-co-n-butyl acrylate), P(MMA-co-nBu), poly(methyl methacrylate-co-n-benzyl methacrylate) P(MMA-co-BzMA, and poly(methyl methacrylate-co-isobornyl acrylate), P(MMA-co-IBA) were investigated via direct pyrolysis mass spectrometry. It was determined that whether an available gamma-H with respect to the carbonyl groups is present or not determines the thermal degradation mechanisms of polyacrylates and po...
Thermal degradation of poly(isobornyl acrylate) and its copolymer with poly(methyl methacrylate) via pyrolysis mass spectrometry
Ozlem, Suriye; Aslan-Guerel, Evren; Rossi, Rene M.; Hacaloğlu, Jale (2013-03-01)
In this work, the thermal degradation characteristics of poly(isobornyl acrylate) (PIBA), and its copolymer with PMMA, P(MMA-co-IBA) were investigated via direct pyrolysis mass spectrometry. Thermal degradation behavior of poly(isobornyl methacrylate) (PIBMA) was also studied for a better understanding of thermal degradation mechanism of PIBA. For both PIBA and PIBMA, gamma-H transfer from the isobornyl ring to the carbonyl group was predominantly effective in thermal degradation. As a consequence of evolut...
Direct pyrolysis mass spectrometry studies on thermal degradation characteristics of poly(phenylene vinylene) with well-defined PSt side chains
Nur, Y.; Çolak, Demet; Cianga, I.; Yagci, Y.; Hacaloğlu, Jale (2008-10-01)
Thermal degradation characteristics of a new macromonomer polystyrene with central 4,4'-dicarbaldehyde terphenyl moieties and poly(phenylene vinylene) with well-defined polystyrene (PPV/PSt) as lateral substituents were investigated via direct pyrolysis mass spectrometry. A slight increase in thermal stability of PSt was detected for (PPV/PSt) and attributed to higher thermal stability of PPV backbone. It was almost impossible to differentiate products due to the decomposition of PPV backbone from those pro...
Investigation of copolymers of thiophene-functionalized polystyrene with pyrrole by pyrolysis mass spectrometry
Papila, Ozge; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Hacaloğlu, Jale (2006-06-01)
The thermal and structural characterization of electrochemically synthesized thiophene-functionalized polystyrene and pyrrole (PS/PPy) and their copolymers were investigated by direct pyrolysis mass spectrometry. The pyrolysis data confirmed the growth of polypyrrole onto the pendant thiophene moiety of polystyrene. It is determined that the electrolytic film has different properties from the mechanical mixture and the related homopolymers.
Pyrolysis of poly(phenylene vinylene)s with polycaprolactone side chains
Nur, Yusuf; Çolak, Demet; Cianga, Ioan; Yagci, Yusuf; Hacaloğlu, Jale (2008-05-01)
The thermal degradation characteristics of a new macromonomer poly(epsilon-caprolactone) with central 4,4'-dicarbaldehyde terphenyl moieties and poly(phenylene vinylene)s with well defined (E-caprolactone), (PPV/PCL) as lateral substituents were investigated via direct pyrolysis mass spectrometry. The unexpectedly high thermal stability of the macromonomer was attributed to intermolecular acetylation of benzaldehyde yielding a hemiacetal and causing a crosslinked structure during the pyrolysis. Increased th...
