Abstract

The thermal degradation of saturated and unsaturated poly(a-cyanoacrylate) s, i.e., poly(methy1 a-cyanoacrylate) (PMCA), poly(ethy1 acyanoacrylate) (PECA), poly(n-propyl a-cyanoacrylate) (PPCA), and poly(ally1 a-cyanoacrylate) (PACA) has been investigated both in air and nitrogen. The thermal stability of poly(alky1 a-cyanoacry1ate)s decreases in the order PPCA >PECA >PMCA. Initially, the thermal stability of PACA is lower than that of PPCA, but at temperatures higher than 220ºC the order is reversed due to crosslinking through pendant allylic bonds, which takes place up to 175ºC. © 1987, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
