Notes:
The thermal decomposition behavior of the aged tetrahydrofuran copolymers with 3-azidomethyl-3′-methyloxetane (AMMO) or 3-nitratomethyl-3′-methyloxetane (NMMO) were studied by thermogravimetry and evolved gas analysis, and compared with aged polytetrahydrofuran (poly-THF) The thermal stability decreased in the order poly-THF 〉 poly-AMMO-THF-AMMO 〉 poly-NMMO-THF-NMMO, whereas the range of temperature for decomposition increased in the order poly-THF 〈 poly-AMMO-THF-AMMO 〈 poly-NMMO-THF-NMMO. The apparent activation energies of the degradation for polymers with ageing, calculated by the Ozawa method, were smaller than that without ageing. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
