Abstract
The thermal degradation of poly(vinyl sulfonic acid) and its sodium salt, p oly(4-styrenesulfonic acid) and its sodium salt, and poly(vinylphosphonic a cid) was studied by a combination of techniques, including TGA/FTIR, to ide ntify the volatile products which were evolved during the degradation as we ll as analysis of the residues which were obtained in order to propose a me chanism for the degradation. The motivation for the work was to attempt to identify new monomers which could be graft copolymerized onto a polymer in order to improve the thermal stability of that polymer.
