Abstract
Abstract A tetrachloroethylene/methyl methacrylate copolymer matrix was synthesized at incremental methyl methacrylate proportions. A mass-loss event was observed when Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) was performed on the resulting solid polymers. A Python analysis in Jupyter Notebooks was developed to analyze each sigmoidal curve generated by thermogravimetric analysis. This algorithm selects a data range, performs a regression analysis on this range, calculates the line intercepts, finds the nearest neighbor on the mass-loss plot, then calculates the rate of mass-loss. The TGA mass-loss was observed to be inversely proportional to the concentration of methyl methacrylate.
