Thermal and Thermo-Oxidative Destruction of Poly(Ethylene Terephthalate) Modified with Formulation Based on Polyfluorinated Alcohol

Abstract

© 2018, Pleiades Publishing, Ltd. Stabilizing effect of 1,1,9-trihydroperfl uorononanole-1 immobilized on a montmorillonite support on the stability of poly(ethylene terephthalate) at elevated temperatures was studied. Gas chromatography, IR Fourier spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry were used to examine gaseous products of its thermal and thermooxidative destruction. It was found that the initial formation rate of aldehydes and carbon dioxide decreases in the course of thermostating of the fl uorine-containing composite polyester material. The method of thermogravimetry demonstrated that modified poly(ethylene terephthalate) has a higher thermal stability.
