Antioxidants have been shown to improve oxidative stabiHty substantially (36,37). The use of mbber-bound stabilizers to permit concentration of the additive in the mbber phase has been reported (38—40). The partitioning behavior of various conventional stabilizers between the mbber and thermoplastic phases in model ABS systems has been described and shown to correlate with solubiHty parameter values (41). Pigments can adversely affect oxidative stabiHty (32). Test methods for assessing thermal oxidative stabiHty include oxygen absorption (31,32,42), thermal analysis (43,44), oven aging (34,45,46), and chemiluminescence (47,48). 

Shock-modified zirconia powder was reacted with lead oxide in controlled differential thermal analysis (DTA) experiments and compared to the unmodified material by Hankey and co-workers [82H01]. This reaction yields... 

Fig. 7.10. The solid state reactivity of shock-modified zirconia with lead oxide as studied with differential thermal analysis (DTA) shows both a reduction in onset temperature and apparent increase in reaction rate. The shock-modified material has a behavior much like the much higher specific surface powder shown in B (after Hankey et al. [82H01]).

Thermal Decomposition. Differential thermal analysis shows phase transitions at 295° and 370° (see above) and a sharp decompn exotherm at 485—500° (Ref 20). G.F. Smith claims that it is unchanged after heating to 400° for long periods of time (Ref 5). Workers in the USSR further investigated the thermal decompn and found that decompn took place betw 320 and 465° with formn of Ba oxide, Ba chloride, and evolution of O. No Cl was evolved below 520— 50°(Ref 14)...

The most intensively investigated dehydroxylation is probably the reaction of Mg(OH)2, though detailed results are also available for the hydroxides of certain other divalent cations. Several summaries of the mechanistic deductions obtained from such work, including literature sources, were presented at a conference at Dijon in 1974 [87]. The extensive literature concerned with the thermal analysis of hydroxides has been reviewed by Dollimore [79] who has also included the behaviour of oxides. Water elimination can be regarded as the first in a sequence of structurally related steps through which the hydroxide is converted into the thermally most stable oxide.

Applications Applications of IC extend beyond the measurement of anions and cations that initially contributed to the success of the technique. Polar organic and inorganic species can also be measured. Ion chromatography can profitably be used for the analysis of ionic degradation products. For example, IC permits determination of the elemental composition of additives in polymers from the products of pyrolysis or oxidative thermal degradation. The lower detection limit for additives in polymers are 0.1% by PyGC... 

Poly(methyl 3-(l-oxypyridinyl)siloxane) was synthesized and shown to have catalytic activity in transacylation reactions of carboxylic and phosphoric acid derivatives. 3-(Methyldichlorosilyl)pyridine (1) was made by metallation of 3-bromopyridine with n-BuLi followed by reaction with excess MeSiCl3. 1 was hydrolyzed in aqueous ammonia to give hydroxyl terminated poly(methyl 3-pyridinylsiloxane) (2) which was end-blocked to polymer 3 with (Me3Si)2NH and Me3SiCl. Polymer 3 was N-oxidized with m-ClC6H4C03H to give 4. Species 1-4 were characterized by IR and H NMR spectra. MS of 1 and thermal analysis (DSC and TGA) of 2-4 are discussed. 3-(Trimethylsilyl)-pyridine 1-oxide (6), l,3-dimethyl-l,3-bis-3-(l-oxypyridinyl) disiloxane (7) and 4 were effective catalysts for conversion of benzoyl chloride to benzoic anhydride in CH2Cl2/aqueous NaHCC>3 suspensions and for hydrolysis of diphenyl phosphorochloridate in aqueous NaHCC>3. The latter had a ti/2 of less than 10 min at 23°C. 

Recently, several reports of the flame-retardant properties of boron-containing bisphenol-A resins have appeared from Gao and Liu.89 The synthesis of a boron-containing bisphenol-A formaldehyde resin (64 and 65) (Fig. 42) from a mixture of bisphenol-A, formaldehyde, and boric acid, in the mole ratio 1 2.4 0.5, has been reported.893 The kinetics of the thermal degradation and thermal stability of the resins were determined by thermal analysis. The analysis revealed that the resin had higher heat resistance and oxidative resistance than most common phenol-formaldehyde resins. 

As part of a multi-technique investigation (see also discussion under mid-infrared spectroscopy later), Corrales et al. [13] plotted the carbonyl index for films prepared from three grades of polyethylenes a high-density PE (HDPE), a linear low-density PE (LLDPE) and a metallocene PE (mPE) (see Figure 5). In this study, the data trend shown in Figure 5 correlated well with activation energies derived from the thermal analysis, which showed that the thermal-oxidative stability followed the order LLDPE > mPE > HDPE, whereas the trend... 

The sample temperature is increased in a linear fashion, while the property in question is evaluated on a continuous basis. These methods are used to characterize compound purity, polymorphism, solvation, degradation, and excipient compatibility [41], Thermal analysis methods are normally used to monitor endothermic processes (melting, boiling, sublimation, vaporization, desolvation, solid-solid phase transitions, and chemical degradation) as well as exothermic processes (crystallization and oxidative decomposition). Thermal methods can be extremely useful in preformulation studies, since the carefully planned studies can be used to indicate the existence of possible drug-excipient interactions in a prototype formulation [7]. 

Measurements of thermal analysis are conducted for the purpose of evaluating the physical and chemical changes that may take place in a heated sample. This requires that the operator interpret the observed events in a thermogram in terms of plausible reaction processes. The reactions normally monitored can be endothermic (melting, boiling, sublimation, vaporization, desolvation, solid-solid phase transitions, chemical degradation, etc.) or exothermic (crystallization, oxidative decomposition, etc.) in nature. 

Sealants obtained by curing polysulfide liquid polymers with aryl bis(nitrile oxides) possess stmctural feature of thiohydroximic acid ester. These materials exhibit poor thermal stability when heated at 60°C they soften within days and liquefy in 3 weeks. Products obtained with excess nitrile oxide degrade faster than those produced with equimolar amounts of reagents. Spectroscopic studies demonstrate that, after an initial rapid addition between nitrile oxide and thiol, a second slower reaction occurs which consumes additional nitrile oxide. Thiohydroximic acid derivatives have been shown to react with nitrile oxides at ambient temperature to form 1,2,4-oxadiazole 4-oxides and alkyl thiol. In the case of a polysulfide sealant, the rupture of a C-S bond to form the thiol involves cleavage of the polymer backbone. Continuation of the process leads to degradation of the sealant. These observations have been supported by thermal analysis studies on the poly sulfide sealants and model polymers (511). 

Figure 1.9 TG, DTG, and DTA profiles for an amorphous catalyst precursor obtained by coprecipitation of Fe(N03)3 and Mg(N03)2 in solution [65], This precursor is heated at high temperatures to produce a MgFe204 spinel, used for the selective oxidation of styrene. The thermal analysis reported here points to four stages in this transformation, namely, the losses of adsorbed and crystal water at 110 and 220°C, respectively, the decomposition and dehydroxylation of the precursor into a mixed oxide at 390°C, and the formation of the MgFe204 spinel at 640°C. Information such as this is central in the design of preparation procedures for catalysts. (Reproduced with permission from Elsevier.)...
