Thermal analysis demonstrates that poly(methylphenylsiloxane) is thermally more stable to weight loss than poly(dimethylsiloxane). The stability decreases with increasing molecular weight and with replacement of terminal hydroxyl by trimethylsilyl groups. The principal product of thermal degradation

Poly(hydrogenmethylsiloxane-co-dimethylsiloxane)s of various compositions have been prepared by cationic ring-opening polymerization of octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D 4 ) and 1,3,5,7-tetramethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D 4 H ) in the presence of hexamethyldisiloxane as end-blocker or by rearrangement of
The thermal stability of poly(acenaphthylene) has been studied by pyrolysis gas-liquid chromatography and pyrolysis mass spectrometry. The principal degradation product is acenaphthylene monomer, with smaller amounts of a similar compound, possibly the saturated acenaphthene. Small yields of a dimer
Due to their interesting properties, zwitterionic polymers have been extensively studied; however, only a few reports discuss their thermal degradation. The objective of this work was to study the pattern of thermal degradation of three poly-(sulfobetaines) with different lateral chain lengths and t
