Abstract

The application of derivativ thermogravimetry (DTG) to investigate polymerisation 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 the resulting polymers are described. The advantages and disadvantages of DTG are discussed. © 1993 Wiley Heyden Ltd, Chichester and Akadémiai Kiadó.
