Generalized kinetic master plots for the thermal degradation of polymers following a random scission mechanism.
In this paper, the f(alpha) conversion functions for random scission mechanisms have been proposed to allow for the construction of generalized master plots suitable for these kinds of mechanisms. The master plots have been validated by their application to simulated data and to the thermal degradation of poly(butylene terephthalate), polyethylene, and poly(tetrafluoroethylene).
متن کاملKinetic equations for thermal degradation of polymers
Kinetic equations are analyzed for thermal degradation of polymers. The governing relations are based on the fragmentation–annihilation concept. Explicit solutions to these equations are derived in two particular cases of interest. For arbitrary values of adjustable parameters, the evolution of the number-average and mass-average molecular weights of polymers is analyzed numerically. Good agree...
متن کاملMechanically induced scission and subsequent thermal remending of perfluorocyclobutane polymers.
Perfluorocyclobutane (PFCB) polymer solutions were subjected to pulsed ultrasound, leading to mechanically induced chain scission and molecular weight degradation. (19)F NMR revealed that the new, mechanically generated end groups are trifluorovinyl ethers formed by cycloreversion of the PFCB groups, a process that differs from thermal degradation pathways. One consequence of the mechanochemica...
متن کاملDegradation mechanisms of bioresorbable polyesters. Part 1. Effects of random scission, end scission and autocatalysis.
A mathematical model was developed to relate the degradation trend of bioresorbable polymers to different underlying hydrolysis mechanisms, including noncatalytic random scission, autocatalytic random scission, noncatalytic end scission or autocatalytic end scission. The effect of each mechanism on molecular weight degradation and potential mass loss was analysed. A simple scheme was developed ...
متن کاملThermal and Oxidative Degradation of Polymers
In recent decades synthetic polymeric materials, because of their unique physical properties, have rapidly replaced more traditional materials such as steel and nonferrous metals, as well as natural polymeric materials such as wood, cotton, and natural rubber. However, one weak aspect of synthetic polymeric materials compared with steel and other metals is that these materials are combustible u...
