Abstract
The thermal degradation of network copolymers of methyl methacrylate w as studied as a function of the chemical nature of the cross-linking a gent and the frequency of cross-links. Unlike the linear homopolymer, both the trimethyllolpropane triacrylate and trimethylolpropane trimet hacryate networks were found to char when burned. The differences in t he thermal degradation of these polymers are interpreted in terms of a simple model for kinetics of polymerization.
