The thermal decomposition behavior of polyacrylamide poly (methacryloyloxyethyl trimethylammonium chloride-acrylamide) (P(DMC-AM)) was studied using TG and DSC, revealing that an increase in cationicity led to higher thermal stability for P(DMC-AM). The evolved gases during degradation were analyzed using TG coupled with FTIR and MS, and a possible thermal composition mechanism was proposed and validated, providing useful information for expanding innovative applications.
The thermal decomposition behavior of polyacrylamide poly (methacryloyloxyethyl trimethylammonium chloride-acrylamide) (P(DMC-AM)) was studied by means of TG and DSC under nitrogen atmosphere at temperature range of 323.15-823.15 K. The effect of cationicity on thermal stability was discussed. The TG/DSC curves indicated that the decomposition process of P(DMC-AM) included three steps, and an increase in cationicity resulted in a slightly increased decomposition temperature and decomposition enthalpy, indicating a higher thermostability for P(DMC-AM). Furthermore, the evolved gases during the degradation were analyzed simultaneously via TG coupled with FTIR and MS. The possible thermal composition mechanism was proposed and validated by calculating the bond orders. The results from this study might supply useful message for expanding innovative application.
