Polymers—cont

The mercaptide thermolysis may behave differently in the presence or absence of polymers [Conte et al., 2007]. However, in most cases, the inorganic phase generated by the thermal degradation of mercaptide molecules dissolved in polymer corresponds exactly to that resulting from the thermal degradation of pure mercaptide. Consequently, a preliminary study of neat mercaptide thermolysis by thermal analysis approaches [differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA)] is usually performed before nanocomposite preparation and characterization.
