Abstract:
Poly(N,N-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) (PDMAEMA) is a promising quite new polymer with very interesting properties. The thermal degradation process of PDMAEMA was investigated. The polymer was heated at specific time intervals, then heating was stopped, and infrared analysis was performed to obtain information on the structure of the solid residue. The thermal degradation process has a two-stage character. The limit temperature for the first decomposition step was about 390°C, after which the second stage of sample decomposition began. The order of disintegration of the macromolecules was determined. Activation energy values for the thermal decomposition process have been calculated; they are 89.8 kJ/mol for the first stage and 17.7 kJ/mol for the second stage of the degradation process.
