Abstract:
The dependence of the glass transition and initial decomposition temperatures of polyperyleneimide and polynaphthylimide on the conformational rigidity was studied by the Monte Carlo, Kuhn segment, and quantum chemical AM1 methods. The corresponding linear plots can be used for estimation of the glass transition and initial decomposition temperatures when experimental determination is difficult.
