Abstract
Abstract Reactivity ratios for the system 2-bromoethyl methacrylate (M1)/methyl acrylate (M2) have been obtained as follows using a nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic technique: r1 = 2·77 ± 0·03, r2 = 0·19 ± 0·02. The principal characteristics of the thermal degradation of this copolymer system have been established by the application of Thermal Gravimetry, Differential Scanning Calorimetry, Thermal Volatilisation Analysis and Sub-ambient Thermal Volatilisation Analysis, the products being identified principally by infra-red and NMR spectroscopic analysis. A quantitative analysis of the products of degradation is presented.
