High Temperature Stability of Rigid Aromatic Networks

5 High-Temperature Stability of Rigid Aromatic Networks 

High-temperature stability is a very sought-after property of polymer networks intended for use in many high-technology applications. The stability is often defined according to the anticipated application. It may be the time to decomposition at a fixed temperature in inert or aggressive atmosphere, or the 

Even though the interest in the thermal properties of polymers goes back over thirty years, no theory was hitherto developed to correlate thermal and structural properties. Currently, a series of structure-property correlations stands for theory. We believe the best group of correlations was assembled by Arnold [757] some time ago.
