Notes:
Thermogravimetric (TGA) and infrared (IR) analyses were used to determine the thermal stability of a polymer system consisting of styrene-acrylonitrile-acrylamide-trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate. This study indicates that increases in curing temperature and the use of two initiators with different activities decreases the percentages of unreacted monomers. This increases the thermal stability of the polymer. To prove this, dynamic and isothermal TGA were used. The change in typical functional groups found by IR spectra also confirms this observation.
