Abstract
Abstract The thermal degradation of saturated and unsaturated poly(a-cyano-acrylate)s, i.e., poly(methyl α-cyanoacrylate) (PMCA), poly(ethyl α-cyanoacrylate) (PECA), poly(w-propyl α-cyanoacrylate) (PPCA), and poly(allyl α-cyanoacrylate) (PACA) has been investigated both in air and nitrogen. The thermal stability of poly(alkyl α-cyanoacrylate) decreases in the order PPCA > PECA > PMCA. Initially, the thermal stability of PACA is lower than that of PPCA, but at temperatures higher than 220°C the order is reversed due to crosslinking through pendant allylic bonds, which takes place up to 175°C.
