Abstract
The application of derivativ thermogravimetry (DTG) to investigate pol ymerisation mechanisms is illustrated using the radical polymerisation of di-n-alkyl itaconates as well as the photoinitiated polymerisation of methyl methacrylate by colloidal CdS. The thermal properties of th e resulting polymers are described. The advantages and disadvantages o f DTG are discussed.
