Direct pyrolysis mass spectrometry analyses of polylactide, PLA, reveal two dominating decomposition pathways; chain homolysis and trans-esterification reactions under the experimental conditions yielding mainly low mass fragments and cyclic oligomers. The main pyrolysis products of aluminium diethylphosphinate, AlPi, are determined to be the dimeric four coordinate compounds possessing Al-O-P linkages. Thermal stability of polylactide in the presence of AlPi is decreased due to the attack of phosphinates groups on carbonyl groups. Eventually, extensive fragmentation of PLA takes place and generation of four coordinate dimeric compounds involving Al O P linkages is suppressed. On the other hand, strong evidence for generation of polyphosphinates is detected. Collision induced dissociation experiments are used to confirm the proposed structures.

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 decomposition of polystyrene-b-poly(2-vinylpyridine) coordinated to co nanoparticles Elmaci, Ayşegül; Hacaloğlu, Jale; Kayran, Ceyhan; Sakellariou, Georgios; Hadjichristidis, Nikos (2009-11-01) Direct pyrolysis mass spectrometry analyses of polystyrene-block-poly(2-vinylpyridne), PS-b-P2VP, indicated that the thermal degradation of each component occurred independently through the decomposition pathways proposed for the corresponding homopolymers; depolymerization for PS and depolymerization and loss of protonated oligomers for P2VP by a more complex degradation mechanism. On the other hand, upon coordination to cobalt nanoparticles, thermal decomposition of the P2VP blocks was initiated by loss o...
Direct insertion probe mass spectrometry of polymers Hacaloğlu, Jale (2012-04-16) This chapter reviews advances in the technique of direct insertion probe mass spectrometry (DIP-MS) and its applications in polymer analysis for various purposes. The applications for thermal characterization involve investigation of the thermal stability, degradation products, and decomposition mechanism of complex polymer samples, in particular polymers involving flame retardants, polyphenylene- and poly(phenylene vinylene)-based materials, and coalesced homopolymers and polymer blends. Examples focused o...
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 degradation of poly(p-phenylene-graft-ε-caprolactone) copolymer Nur, Yusuf; Yurteri, Seda; Cianga, Ioan; Yagci, Yusuf; Hacaloğlu, Jale (2007-01-01) The thermal degradation of poly (p-phenylene-graft-epsilon-caprolactone) (PPP), synthesized by Suzuki polycondensation of poly(E-caprolactone) (PCL) with a central 2,5-dibromo-1,4-benzene on the chain with 1,4-phenylene-diboronic acid, has been studied via direct pyrolysis mass spectrometry. The thermal degradation occurred mainly in two steps. In the first step, decomposition of PCL chains occurred. A slight increase in thermal stability of PCL chains was noted. In the second stage of pyrolysis, the decomp...
