Abstract
In this work, the possibility of preparation of copolymers of three-dimensional crosslinked structure based on polypropylene glycol fumarate and acrylic acid is shown. The initial reagent polypropylene glycol fumarate has been synthesized by polycondensation reaction of fumaric acid and propylene glycol. The curing process of polypropylene glycol fumarate and acrylic acid at various mole concentrations was studied using DSC method at isothermal and dynamic regimens. Curing in isothermal condition was carried out at temperatures of 60 °C, 70 °C, and 80 °C. Residual reactivity was evaluated at a dynamic regimen within the temperature range from 30 °C to 200 °C at a constant heating rate. On the basis of calorimetric studies, the thermal effects and kinetic parameters of the reaction (conversion, reaction rate, activation energy) have been determined. Thermal behavior of cured samples of p-PGF-AA was estimated using dynamic thermogravimetry (TGA). According to TGA data, the process of decomposition of the studied copolymers proceeds in several stages. Based on the results obtained, the activation energies of thermal decomposition were calculated using the iso-conversional methods of Kissinger-Akakhira-Sunose and Friedman.
