Abstract: | The thermal stabilities of poly(acryloyl chloride) homopolymer and copolymers of acryloyl chloride with methyl methacrylate covering the entire composition range were studied by thermogravimetric analysis. At each extreme of the composition range incorporation of comonomer units results in a copolymer which is less stable than the PMMA homopolymer. The activation energies of the decomposition of the copolymers were calculated using the Arrhenius equation and found to decrease from 32.2 to 12.5 kJ mol?1 as acryloyl chloride concentration of the copolymer increases, indicating that the copolymers of higher acryloyl chloride concentration should easier decompose than other copolymers. The reactivity ratios of the copolymer were calculated and found to ber 1(AC)=0.2±0.02 andr 2(MMA)=0.9±0.1. |
