Pyrolysis mass spectrometry (MS) analysis of aromatic amine-based naphthoxazine monomer (15-Na) and Poly15-Na has been carried out. Evaporation and degradation of the monomer are detected during the curing process while the polymerisation proceeded. The polymerisation and degradation mechanisms are proposed for 15-Na and Poly15-Na, respectively. The proposed polymerisation mechanism for naphthoxazine monomer was through the aniline units either by coupling of the radicals generated by cleavage of the side rings or by substitution to the benzene ring of aniline. It has been determined that polymerisation followed opposing paths yielding some thermally less stable linkages through which thermally crosslinked polynaphthoxazine (Poly15-Na) suffers from low thermal stability. It has been shown that pyrolysis MS is a very useful technique to investigate the polymerisation and degradation mechanisms and degradation products of these materials.

Thermal degradation characteristics of polysulfones with benzoxazine end groups
Orhan, Tugba; Ates, Sahin; Hacaloğlu, Jale; Yagci, Yusuf (2012-01-01)
Thermal degradation behaviors of phenol and benzoxazine end-capped polysulfone macromonomers (PSU-OH and PSU-P-a) and pre-cured PSU-P-a in the absence and presence of aniline and phenol based benzoxazine monomer (P-a) were investigated via pyrolysis mass spectrometry. A significant increase in thermal stability of both polysulfone and polybenzoxazine chains upon polymerization of benzoxazine end groups was determined compared to phenol-ended polysulfones and aniline based monofunctional polybenzoxazine. The...
Thermal decomposition of glycidyl azide polymer by direct insertion probe mass spectrometry
Fazlioǧlu, Hatice; Hacaloğlu, Jale (2002-01-01)
Thermal decomposition reactions and products of glycidyl azide polymer (GAP), have been investigated by direct insertion mass spectrometry and evolved gas analyses by FTIR spectroscopy techniques. It has been observed that thermal degradation of GAP begins with cleavage of the side groups. Although the main decomposition started with the elimination of molecular nitrogen from the azide functional group, degradation initiated by loss of N-3 and CH2N3, depolymerization type reactions were also identified. Rea...
Thermal degradation of polysiloxane and polyetherester containing benzoxazine moieties in the main chain
Bagherifam, Shahla; Kışkan, Barış; Aydogan, Binnur; Yagci, Yusuf; Hacaloğlu, Jale (2011-01-01)
In this study investigation of thermal characteristics of polysiloxane and polyetherester containing benzoxazine moieties in the main chain was performed via pyrolysis mass spectrometry. Pyrolysis mass spectrometry analyses revealed that the thermal stability and the extent of cross-linking enhanced when the benzoxazine moieties were separated by thermally more stable units such as siloxanes. However, when the siloxane chain units were long, possibility of polybenzoxazine growth decreased significantly and ...

A series of alkyl-functional naphthoxazine resins having various alkyl chain lengths from C1 to C18 are synthesized with a high yield and high purity by the reactions of 1,5-dihydroxynaphthalene, formaldehyde, and aliphatic amines. The proposed chemical structures of the naphthoxazines are confirmed by high-resolution mass spectrometry, H-1 nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and pyrolysis mass spectrometry studies. The alkyl-functional naphthoxazines have shown...
Thermal degradation of polystyrene composites. Part I. The effect of brominated polyepoxy and antimony oxide
Kaya, Hatice; Hacaloğlu, Jale (2014-01-01)
Thermal degradation of polystyrene (PS) involving brominated polyepoxy (BA) and antimony oxide (PS/BE/Sb2O3) was studied systematically via direct pyrolysis mass spectrometry. Thermal decomposition of brominated polyepoxy was started by loss of end groups. The relative yields of high mass thermal degradation products of PS and the product distribution of brominated polyepoxy and antimony oxide were changed noticeably during the pyrolysis of PS/BE/Sb2O3 composite. Its thermal decomposition was initiated by t...
