Abstract: | Copolymers of 1,2,2,2-tetrachloroethyl esters of unsaturated acids and halogenated N-phenyl maleimides with styrene were pyrolyzed; volatile products were analyzed with a mass spectrometer combined with a gas chromatograph. Hydrogen halide and carbon dioxide in the volatile products were determined during the thermal decomposition of copolymers in glass ampoules; the acyl chloride groups were determined in the residues. The thermal decomposition of copolymers of tetrachloroethyl esters with styrene sets in at ca. 230° by the release of chloral from the copolymer and splitting of some of the CCl bonds in the copolymer. The decomposition of copolymers of styrene with halogenated N-phenyl maleimides starts above 300° by depolymerization of the polystyrene chain sections and by splitting of some of the carbon-halogen bonds. At 310 and 500° for copolymers of tetrachloroethyl esters and at 500° for halogenated N-phenyl maleimides, there is radical dehydrohalogenation of the copolymers, with depolymerization of polystyrene blocks and splitting of carbon-carbon bonds in the main chain. |
