Abstract
The thermal behaviour of binary mixtures of sodium or potassium thiocyanate with two high-molecular polyoxyethylenes (POE) of different molecular weights was studied in a broad temperature range by means of a combined thermal analysis technique. Some thermal characteristics of the binary mixtures, which depend on the component content and the preparation method, were determined. It was established that the investigated alkali metal thiocyanates, which form molecular complexes with POE, exert a considerable thermostabilizing effect on the POE. The optimum content of sodium or potassium thiocyanate for the maximum thermostabilizing effect was found to be from 2 to 5 mass %.
