Abstract
Some epoxy-acrylic polymers synthesized from phenol and para-alkyl (me thyl, tertbutyl and nonyl) phenol glycidyl ethers by reaction with acr ylic acid have been studied using pyrolysis in combination with gas ch romatography and thermogravimetric techniques. The main pyrolysis prod ucts were identified as phenol, para-cresol, ethylene. acetone. acryli c acid, anisole and some higher phenols. Four to six decomposition sta ges can be observed in the temperature range 80-600 degrees C and the apparent thermal stability of the polymers increases in the order: phe nol epoxy-acrylic polymer < para-cresol epoxy acrylic polymer < nonylp henol epoxy-acrylic polymer < para-tert-butylphenol epoxy-acrylic poly mer.
