Notes:
First, the thermal behavior of diallyl oxalate prepolymer (PDAO) at 130-300°C was preliminarily compared with diallyl phthalate prepolymer; PDAO was self-curable and degraded easily accompanying the evolution of gas. Next, the thermal degradation of PDAO was investigated in detail by TG. The TG curve of PDAO compared with those of various diallyl dicarboxylate prepolymers was peculiar suggesting two stages of thermal degradation processes with two maximum degradation temperatures, although the first stage is relevant to the significant release of carbon dioxide. In addition, the effect of the structural units, involving uncyclized, cyclized, and crosslinked units, on the thermal degradation of PDAO was examined; the thermal degradation rate was reduced with an increase in the cyclized units and was independent of the content of crosslinked units. From these results, the thermal degradation mechanism of PDAO is briefly discussed in terms of a radical mechanism.
