Abstract
Poly(1,3-diisopropenylbenzene peroxide) (PDIPBP) has been prepared from 1,3 -diisopropenylbenzene by free-radical-initiated oxidative polymerization. T he presence of peroxide group (-O-O-) in the polymer backbone has been conf irmed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and FTIR spectroscopy. The rmal degradation studies using DSC have revealed that PDIPBP degrades highl y exothermically and the measured heat of degradation (-295.4 cal g(-1)) is slightly higher than that reported earlier for vinyl polyperoxides.
