Abstract

The thermal stability of blends of allyl methacrylate–methyl methacrylate (AMA–MMA) copolymers with aluminum isopropoxide [Al(OC3H7)3] was investigated in an inert atmosphere employing thermogravimetry-differential thermogravimetry (TG-DTG) and under vacuum using thermal volatilization analysis (TVA). The condensable volatile degradation products from the TVA experiments were separated by sub-ambient TVA and characterized by IR spectroscopy and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) techniques. Some additional products were identified and the mechanisms of their formation from the blends have been discussed.
