Abstract
The thermal stabilities of cobalt, nickel and copper polymethacrylates , synthesized by free radical polymerization of methacrylic acid follo wed by the replacement of the carboxylic proton with the respective me tal ion, have been examined. Various thermoanalytical techniques have been utilized. The results reveal that cobalt and nickel polymethacryl ate are much more stable than copper polymethacrylate, although the pr oducts are similar. A general mechanism for their thermal degradation has been proposed.
