In this work, a direct insertion probe pyrolysis mass spectrometry technique was applied to investigate the thermal and the structural characteristics of electrochemically prepared PF6- and BF4- doped poly(3-methylthiophene) (PMTh) to explore the effect of dopant on thermal and structural characteristics. It has been determined that the thermal degradation of PMTh occurs in two steps as in the case of polythiophene, (PTh). The first step was assigned to the loss of the dopant, and the second step to the degradation of the polymer backbone producing segments of various conjugation lengths. Generation of some oligomers occurred at lower temperatures for PF6- doped films compared to BF4- PMTh. On the other hand for both PMTh samples products due to the degradation of thiophene ring were detected in the same temperature range. Evolution of dopant based products occurred in a broad temperature range for both PF6- and BF4- doped poly(3-methylthiophene). Reactions of dopants with H2O and polymer were very effective, especially for PF6- and substitution of thiophene ring was noted for both samples. Decomposition of the polymer and inward diffusion of counter ion during dedoping processes of both polymers pointed out that electrochemical reversibility of the transition between the doped and undoped states is limited for PMTh.

Characterization of polyaniline via pyrolysis mass spectrometry
Hacaloğlu, Jale; Kücükyavuz, Zühal (2008-04-05)
In this work, direct insertion probe pyrolysis mass spectrometry technique was applied to investigate the thermal and the structural characteristics of electrochemically prepared HCl and HNO3-doped polyaniline (PANI) films. It has been determined that the thermal degradation of both samples showed three main thermal degradation stages. The first stage around 50-60 degrees C was associated with evolution of solvent and low-molecular-weight species adsorbed on the polymer, the second stage just above 150 degr...
Pyrolysis mass spectrometry analyses of poly(3-methylthiophene)
Gozet, Tuba; Hacaloğlu, Jale (2005-01-01)
In this work, pyrolysis mass spectrometry techniques were applied to investigate the thermal and the structural characteristics of electrochemically prepared BF4- doped poly(3-methylthiophene) (PMTh) and to explore the effect of methyl substitution on thermal and structural characteristics of polythiophene (PTh). It has been determined that thermal degradation of BF4- doped PMTh films occurs in two steps as in the case of polythiophene. The first step was assigned to the loss of the dopant, and the second s...
Investigation of polymerization of benzoxazines and thermal degradation characteristics of polybenzoxazines via direct pyrolysis mass spectrometry
Fam, Shahla Bagheri; Uyar, Tamer; Ishida, Hatsuo; Hacaloğlu, Jale (2012-10-01)
Polymerization of benzoxazines and thermal degradation mechanisms of polybenzoxazines were investigated using the direct pyrolysis mass spectrometry (DP-MS) technique. The benzoxazine structures were based on phenol and aniline and on bisphenol-A and methylamine or aniline. Polymerizations of the benzoxazines were carried out by curing them at elevated temperatures without addition of initiator or catalyst. DP-MS data showed the presence of chains generated by opposing polymerization reaction pathways indic...
Characterization of conducting copolymer of pyrrole via pyrolysis mass spectrometry
Levent, Anil; Hacaloğlu, Jale; Toppare, Levent Kamil (2008-03-01)
In this work, structural and thermal characterization of BF4- doped copolymer of pyrrole (PPy) with 2-methylbutyl-2-(3-thienyl)acetate prepared by electrochemical polymerization were performed via a pyrolysis mass spectrometry technique. The pyrolysis mass spectrometry data of the copolymer PPy/PMBTA, and the homopolymers; polypyrrole, PPy, and poly(2-methylbutyl-2-(3-thienyl)acetate), PMBTA were analyzed and compared. It has been determined that when the electrochemical polymerization of pyrrole was achiev...
Investigation of copolymers of thiophene-functionalized polystyrene with pyrrole by pyrolysis mass spectrometry
Papila, Ozge; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Hacaloğlu, Jale (2006-06-01)
The thermal and structural characterization of electrochemically synthesized thiophene-functionalized polystyrene and pyrrole (PS/PPy) and their copolymers were investigated by direct pyrolysis mass spectrometry. The pyrolysis data confirmed the growth of polypyrrole onto the pendant thiophene moiety of polystyrene. It is determined that the electrolytic film has different properties from the mechanical mixture and the related homopolymers.
