Poly(N-phenyl-3,4-dimethylenepyrroline) had a higher melting point than poly(N-phenyl-3,4-dimethylenepyrrole) (171° vs 130°C). However, the oxidized polymer showed a better heat stability in the thermogravimetric analysis. This may be attributed to the aromatic pyrrole ring structures present in the oxidized polymer, because the oxidized polymer was thermodynamically more stable than the original polymer. Poly(N-phenyl-3,4-dimethylenepyrroline) behaved as a polyelectrolyte in formic acid and had an intrinsic viscosity of 0.157 (dL/g) whereas, poly(N-pheny1-3,4-dimethylenepyrrole) behaved as a polyelectrolyte in DMF and had an intrinsic viscosity of 0.099 (dL/g). No common solvent for these two polymers could be found, therefore, a comparison of the viscosities before and after the oxidation was not possible.

Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) of these poly(phosphazenes) shows their decomposition onset temperatures in an inert atmosphere to be ca. 350 to 400°C, depending on the side group. These temperatures are ca. 25-75°C higher than that reported for commercial materials based on the fluoroalkoxy substituted polymer, [(CFgCHjO PN],. (19) Interestingly, methyl rather than phenyl side groups yield the more stable materials, as shown by... 

In this study, we extend the range of inorganic materials produced from polymeric precursors to include copper composites. Soluble complexes between poly(2-vinylpyridine) (P2VPy) and cupric chloride were prepared in a mixed solvent of 95% methanol 5% water. Pyrolysis of the isolated complexes results in the formation of carbonaceous composites of copper. The decomposition mechanism of the complexes was studied by optical, infrared, x-ray photoelectron and pyrolysis mass spectroscopy as well as thermogravimetric analysis and magnetic susceptibility measurements. 

Recently, Kroeze et al. prepared polymeric iniferter 34 including poly(BD) segments in the main chain [152]. They successfully synthesized poly(BD)-block-poly(SAN), which was characterized by gel permeation chromatography, elemental analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, NMR, dynamic mechanical thermal analysis, and transmission electron microscopy. By varying the polymerization time and iniferter concentration, the composition and the sequence length were controlled. The analysis confirmed the chain microphase separation in the multiblock copolymers.

Improved heat-resistant UV compositions for optical fiber applications These compositions are nonurethane UV cure compositions that have neither carbamate moieties nor long-chain poly(alkylene oxide) soft segments and exhibit inherently better thermal stability measured by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) than typical coatings for optical fibers based on urethane acrylate oligomers. 

Poly(ethylene terephthalate)s modified with increasing amounts of 5-sodiosulfo-isophthalic acid were prepared and char formation analyzed by thermogravimetric analysis at 600°C. Samples were heated at a rate of 20°C/min under a nitrogen flow of 50 ml/min. Char testing results are provided in Table 1.

In another study, it was successfully reported an intimate ternary blend system of poly(carbonate) (PC)/poly(methyl methacrylate ) (PMMA)/poly (vinyl acetate) (PVAc) obtained by the simultaneous coalescence of the three guest polymers from their common y-cyclodextrin (y-CD) inclusion complex (IC). The thermal transitions and the homogeneity of the coalesced ternary blend were studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) [50]...

Son and coworkers also reported the syntheses of hyperbranched poly(carbosilanes) via hydrosilylation. In one report, they prepared a series of AB3 carbosilarylene monomers (5, 6 and 7)173 which polymerized cleanly and rapidly to form soluble hyperbranched polymers in high yields. The polymers, ranging in appearance from sticky solids to oils, were characterized by NMR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry and vapor pressure osmometry. The polymers possessed subambient Tg...
