In this work, characterization of a homopolymer of succinic acid bis(4-pyrrol-1-ylphenyl) ester prepared by galvonastatic polymerization was carried out by direct pyrolysis mass spectrometry. Although decomposition of the monomer yielding mainly butadionic acid and pyrrole occurred under the galvonastatic polymerization conditions, growth of the polymer through the pyrrole moieties was also achieved, yielding a ladder-type polymer film. The polypyrrole chains contained both quinoid and aromatic units as in the case of polypyrrole, yet the extent of network structure was significantly diminished. A three-step mechanism is proposed. for the thermal decomposition process. The first step involves the cleavage Of C4H4NC6H4O end groups. In the second step, decomposition of phenyl ester units and polypyrrole chains having quinoid structure takes place. The final stage of thermal degradation was attributed to decomposition of polypyrrole chains having aromatic structure. (C) 2004 Society of Chemical Industry.

Characterization of conducting copolymers of succinic acid bis-(-4-pyrrol-1-yl-phenyl) ester and thiophene via pyrolysis mass spectrometry Ertas, Merve; Hacaloğlu, Jale; Toppare, Levent Kamil (2005-03-01) In this work, a direct pyrolysis mass spectrometry technique was applied to characterize a conducting copolymer of succinic acid bis-(4-pyrrol-1-yl-phenyl) ester (SM) and thiophene prepared by electrochemical polymerization. Thermal degradation behavior of both components was quite similar to those of the corresponding homopolymers, PSM, and polythiophene PTh. Yet, detection of oligomers and mixed dimers of both monomers in the high temperature pyrolysis mass spectra confirmed the formation of a copolymer. ...
Characterization of polypyrrole/polytetrahydrofuran graft copolymers by direct pyrolysis mass spectrometry Özdilek, Ceren; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Yagci, Yusuf; Hacaloğlu, Jale (2002-01-01) The thermal decomposition pathways and products of pyrrole ended-polytetrahydrofuran (PTHF), p-toluene sulfonate doped polypyrrole (PTS-PPY) and polypyrrole/polytetrahydrofuran (PTS-PPY/PTHF) graft copolymers have been investigated by direct pyrolysis mass spectrometry (DPMS). The data suggest that PTHF degrade via mixed random cleavage and unzipping mechanism followed by hydrogen transfer reactions. Decomposition of dopant in the high temperature range is attributed to a strong interaction between the dopa...
Characterization of conducting copolymer of thiophene via pyrolysis mass spectrometry Levent, Anil; Hacaloğlu, Jale; Toppare, Levent Kamil (2005-12-01) In this work, structural and thermal characterization of a conducting copolymer of thiophene (PTh) with 2-methylbutyl-2-(3-thienyl)acetate prepared by two different methods has been performed by pyrolysis mass spectrometry techniques. The pyrolysis mass spectrometry data of both components of the copolymer, polythiophene, PTh, poly(2-methylbutyl-2-(3-thienyl)acetate), PMBTA and PTh/PMBTA have been analyzed and compared. It has been determined that when the electrochemical polymerization of thiophene was ach...
Characterization of electrochemically synthesized p-toluene sulfonic acid doped polypyrrole by direct insertion probe pyrolysis mass spectrometry Uyar, Tamer; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Hacaloğlu, Jale (2002-01-01) A direct insertion probe pyrolysis mass spectrometry technique was used to perform a systematic thermal characterization of conducting polypyrrole doped with p-toluene sulfonic acid. The effect of dopant concentration on thermal stability and degradation products was investigated using undoped and dedoped polypyrrole samples. The data indicate that polymerization of pyrrole in the absence of dopant produces an aromatic structure, which transforms into the quinoid form at high dopant concentrations. Reductio...
A pyrolysis mass spectrometry study of polythiophene copolymers Aslan, Evren; Hacaloğlu, Jale; Toppare, Levent Kamil (2007-05-01) The thermal behaviour of copolymers of thiophene with decanedioic acid bis-(2-thiophen-3-yl-ethyl)ester (DATE) and terephthalic acid his(2-thiophen-3-yl-ethyl)ester (TATE) prepared by potentiostatic polymerization was studied via pyrolysis mass spectrometry. It was determined that the electrolytic films correspond to the related homopolymers. The increase in thermal stability of ester linkages, and evolution of characteristic degradation products of TATE and DATE together with thiophene based products above...
