The data from TG analysis show that degradation proceeds in two steps for unmodified as well as modified UPR, but the char residue at 500°C was considerably higher for flame-retarded resins. Analysis of the volatile decomposition products by FT-IR and MS spectrocopy revealed that during controlled heating, the emission of phthalic anhydride takes place at ca. 330°C, followed by styrene at ca. 380°C., and a complex mixture of other aromatic compounds are evolved. Further studies by TG-FTIR revealed that evolution of CO 2 is considerably lowered by zinc hydroxystannate, andat a later stage of decomposition the evolution of H 2 O and HBr (traces) can be identified. On the basis of the results obtained a mechanism of decomposition was proposed that takes into account the reaction of tin compounds with the products of ester linkage rupture processes.","PeriodicalId":20322,"journal":{"name":"Polymers & Polymer Composites","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2004-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77388248","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
