Notes:
The thermal degradation of poly(methyl methacrylate) as polymerized in aqueous nitric acid solution using Ce(IV) alone and in combination with isobutyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, glucose, maltose, and cellobiose as initiator systems has been investigated using differential thermal analysis (DTA) and thermogravimetry (TGA) in dynamic nitrogen. The kinetic parameters E, n, and A have been obtained following several methods of thermogravimetric analysis. The most stable material was found to be the PMMA sample obtained with Ce(IV), and the Ce(IV)-IBA and Ce(IV)-maltose polymerized samples were the least stable. In the pyrolysis of Ce(IV)-IBA and Ce(IV)-maltose polymerized samples it was found that two reactions occurred, while in the case of the PMMA polymerized with Ce(IV), Ce(IV)-IPA, Ce(IV)-glucose, and Ce(IV)-cellobiose three reactions took place.
