Thermal Degradation and Identification of Heat-Sensitive Polymers
Clough, Stuart C.; Goldman, Emma W.
Journal of Chemical Education, v82 n9 p1378-1379 Sep 2005
A study demonstrates the thermal degradation of two heat-sensitive polymers, namely, polystyrene and poly (methyl methacrylate). The experiment described in the study introduces undergraduate students to polymer structure as well as the application of spectroscopic techniques to the solution of structural problems.
