Thermal Stability of Poly (2 - Acrylamido -4- Antipyrinyl) Thiazole Homopolymer and Copolymer of 2- Acrylamido -4- Antipyrinyl Thiazole with Methyl Methacyylate (Dept.p)

Abstract

Different concentrations of copolymer of (2-acrylamido-4-antipyrinyl) thiazole with methyl methacrylate were prepared and the reactivity ratio values of copolymerization were calculated using 'H-NMR technique. Thermal analysis of the copolymers showed that the thermal stability are intermediate between poly (2-acrylamido-4-antipyrinyl) thiazole and poly methyl methacrylate homopolymers. The activation energies of the thermal degradation of the copolymers were calculated using Arrhenius relationship.
