Pyrolysis of electrochemically prepared BF4- doped polythiophene (PTh) by direct insertion probe and Currie point pyrolysis gas chromatography mass spectrometry techniques indicated that thermal decomposition of PTh occurs in two steps. In accordance with literature results, the first step is assigned to the loss of the dopant, and the second step to the degradation of the polymer backbone producing segments of various conjugation lengths. At elevated temperatures, detection of products such as H2S and C2H2 indicating cleavage of the thiophene (Th) ring was associated with a network structure. For the dedoped samples, a significant increase in the relative intensities of the peaks characteristic to the counter ion of the dopant, N(C4H9)(4)(+) pointed out the inward diffusion of (C4H9)(4)N+ during the dedoping process.

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...
Pyrolysis mass spectrometry analysis of electrochemically grafted polyacrylonitrile with thiophene
Oguz, Gulcan; Hacaloğlu, Jale; Önal, Ahmet Muhtar (2005-10-01)
In this work, structural and thermal analyses of a polythiophene/polyacrylonitrile (PTh/PAN) sample, prepared by electrochemical polymerization of thiophene onto a poly(acrylonitrile) coated anode, have been performed by a direct insertion probe pyrolysis mass spectrometry technique. The evolution profiles of PTh based products from PTh/PAN showed nearly identical trends with those recorded during the pyrolysis of pure PTh. However, when PAN based products were considered, contrary to the trends observed fo...
Pyrolysis of BF4- doped polypyrrole by direct insertion probe pyrolysis mass spectrometry
Uyar, Tamer; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Hacaloğlu, Jale (2001-01-01)
A systematic structural and thermal characterization of conducting polypyrrole doped with BF4- was performed using a direct insertion probe pyrolysis mass spectrometry technique. The effect of dopant concentration on the structure and stability was investigated not only by analyzing samples with different doping levels, but also analyzing the dedoped polypyrrole sample. To get a better understanding, the changes in structure and stability upon overoxidation and thermal aging were also studied. During pyroly...
Direct pyrolysis mass spectrometry analysis of fresh and aged PF6--doped polythiophenes
Gozet, Tuba; Hacaloğlu, Jale (2004-12-01)
In this study, pyrolysis mass spectrometry has been applied for the investigation of thermal characteristics of PF6--doped polythiophene (PTh) films. Thermal degradation of PTh showed behaviour identical with BF4--doped polythiophene (BF4--PTh), indicating that the effects of the dopants in question on the thermal characteristics of the PTh are not significant. Besides the oligomer peaks (up to hexamer), peaks indicating decomposition of the thiophene ring have also been detected as in the case of BF4--PTh....
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...
