Sp. Solodovnikov et al., ESR STUDIES OF HEAT-TREATED METAL-CONTAIN ING POLYACRYLONITRILES, Vysokomolekularnye soedinenia. Seria A, 35(1), 1993, pp. 20000026-20000029
Heat treated metal-containing polyacrylonitriles that were obtained in
air (220-degrees, 13 h) and based on chrome-, molybdenum-, and tungst
encarbonyl polyacrylonitriles, were investigated using the ESR method.
As a result of heat treatment, oxides of corresponding metals and par
amagnetic centers appeared, whose concentration was dependent on the d
uration of heating. Subsequent carbonization (980-degrees, argon) led
to the reduction of metal oxides and to the disappearance of paramagne
tic centers.
