In this work, the thermal degradation characteristics of polyamide 6 (PA6) containing melamine (Me) and a boron-containing additive, borophosphate (BPO4), zinc borate (ZnB) or a boron and silicon-containing oligomer (BSi) are investigated systematically via direct pyrolysis mass spectrometry. In the presence of boron compounds, not only the release of melamine and its degradation products but also thermal characteristics of PA6 are affected significantly and the interactions between melamine and PA6 are enhanced. For the composite involving BPO4, sublimation of melamine and degradation of PA6 are slightly shifted to high temperatures. Whereas, for the composites involving ZnB and BSi, sublimation of melamine is depressed due to the glassy surface formed by ZnB and BSi and release of thermal degradation products of PA6 are shifted to lower temperatures noticeably. The glassy surface generated by ZnB allows the release of degradation products of melamine to a certain extent. Conversely, for the composite involving BSi, reduction in the yields of degradation products of melamine is also noted. The trap of degradation products of melamine in the polymer matrix causes significant decrease in the the temperature region where thermal degradation products of PA6 are recorded. POLYM.

Direct pyrolysis mass spectrometry studies on thermal degradation characteristics of poly(phenylene vinylene) with well-defined PSt side chains
Nur, Y.; Çolak, Demet; Cianga, I.; Yagci, Y.; Hacaloğlu, Jale (2008-10-01)
Thermal degradation characteristics of a new macromonomer polystyrene with central 4,4'-dicarbaldehyde terphenyl moieties and poly(phenylene vinylene) with well-defined polystyrene (PPV/PSt) as lateral substituents were investigated via direct pyrolysis mass spectrometry. A slight increase in thermal stability of PSt was detected for (PPV/PSt) and attributed to higher thermal stability of PPV backbone. It was almost impossible to differentiate products due to the decomposition of PPV backbone from those pro...
Direct Pyrolysis - Mass Spectrometry Analysis of Thermal Degradation of Thio-Click-Modified Poly(2-oxazoline)
Atilkan, Nurcan; Schlaad, Helmut; NUR, YUSUF; Hacaloğlu, Jale (2014-01-01)
Poly(2‐(3‐butenyl)‐2‐oxazoline)s (PBOX) with glucose‐S‐butyl (Glc) and perfluoroalkyl‐S‐butyl (F) side chains (three samples: Glc/F = 100/0, 0/100, and 88/12) are synthesized by ring‐opening polymerization of 2‐butenyl‐2‐oxazoline and thiol‐ene click photochemistry, and their thermal properties are analyzed by direct‐pyrolysis mass spectrometry. Significant changes in the thermal stability and thermal‐degradation products are observed depending on the structure of the side chain. The thermal degradation of ...
Thermal characterization of composites of polyamide-6 and polypropylene involving boron compounds via direct pyrolysis mass spectrometry
İşbaşar Afacan, Güllü Ceyda; Hacaloğlu, Jale; Yılmazer, Ülkü; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2013)
In this work, the effects of addition of boron compounds, boron phosphate (BPO4), zinc borate (ZnB), borosilicate (BSi) and lanthanum borate (LaB), on thermal degradation characteristics of composites of polyamide 6 (PA6) and polypropylene (PP) are analyzed via Direct Pyrolysis Mass Spectrometry (DP-MS) technique. The composites of PA6 involve nitrogen containing flame retardants, melamine (Me) or melamine cyanurate (MC); or phosphorus containing flame retardant, aluminum diethylphosphinate (AlPi), with or ...
Investigation of thermal degradation characteristics of polyamide-6 containing melamine or melamine cyanurate via direct pyrolysis mass spectrometry
Isbasar, Ceyda; Hacaloğlu, Jale (2012-01-01)
In this work the changes in thermal degradation characteristics of polyamide 6 (PA6) in the presence of melamine (Me) or melamine cyanurate (MC) were investigated systematically via direct pyrolysis mass spectrometry. Though thermal stability of PA6 was not affected by the presence of flame retardants, the changes in the products and in their distributions were detected. The reaction of carbonyl groups of PA6 with amine groups of melamine was the main cause for the changes in the product distribution. In th...
Direct Methane Oxidation to Methanol by N2O on Fe- and Co-ZSM-5 Clusters with and without Water: A Density Functional Theory Study
Fellah, Mehmet Ferdi; Önal, Işık (2010-02-25)
Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were carried Out ill a Study of oxidation of methane to methanol by N2O on the Fe- and Co-ZSM-5 clusters. The catalytic cycle steps have been Studied oil model Clusters ((SiH3)(4)AlO4M) (where M = Fe, Co). Calculations indicate very low methanol selectivity Without water and increasing rate of methanol formation with water. These results are in qualitative agreement with the experimental literature. The methanol formation step is also found to be the rate-limitin...
