Abstract

The thermal stability and kinetics parameters of polycarbonates and polythiocarbonates derived from diphenols with chlorinated aromatic side-rings were studied. The polycarbonates exhibited a higher thermal stability than the polythiocarbonates, except for polythiocarbonate Ib, which displayed similar behaviour to that of the analogous polycarbonate. The kinetic parameters of the thermal decomposition were determined by using the Arrhenius relationship and a computer program. In the considered temperature range, all the polymers degraded in a single stage with first-order kinetics.

Zusammenfassung

Es wurde die thermische Stabilität und die kinetischen Parameter von aus Diphenolen mit chlorierten aromatischen Nebenringen abgeleiteten Polycarbonate und Polythiocarbonate untersucht. Polycarbonate zeigen eine höhere thermische Stabilität als Polythiocarbonate. Eine Ausnahme bildet das Polythiocarbonat Ib, das in seinem Verhalten den Polycarbonaten gleicht. Mittels der Arrheniusschen Gleichung und einem Rechnerprogramm wurden die kinetischen Parameter der thermischen Zersetzung ermittelt. Im untersuchten Temperaturbereich zersetzen sich alle Polymere in einer einstufigen Reaktion erster Ordnung.
