D. Solpan et O. Guven, Thermal stability of the copolymers of allyl glycidyl ether with acrylonitrile and methyl methacrylate obtained via gamma irradiation, RADIAT PH C, 57(2), 2000, pp. 173-177
Homopolymerization of allyl glycidyl ether (AGE) initiated by gamma rays an
d the copolymerization of AGE with acrylonitrile (AN) and methyl methacryla
te (MMA) were investigated. The thermal characterization of resulting homop
olymers and copolymers were realized by Thermal Analysis Techniques and the
ir degradation activation energies were calculated. The copolymers, P(AGE/A
N), formed from AGE + AN monomers were more stable thermally than those cop
olymers, P(AGE/MMA), formed from AGE + MMA monomer mixtures. (C) 2000 Elsev
