Thermal behavior of polytriazole films: A thermal analysis study

Abstract

SynopsisThe thermal behavior of poly( 1,3-phenyl-l,4-phenyl)-4-phenyl-1,2,4-triazole has been investigated using different scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetry (TG). Processes are studied for this thermally stable polymer that take place between 200 and 500°C. While the polycondensation reaction product in powder from appeared to be partially crystalline, films prepared by casting from a formic acid solution appeared to be completely amorphous. A thermal treatment between Tg( -270°C) and T , ( -430'C) can introduce crystallinity in the films because of the polymer's ability to cold crystallize. The cold crystallization temperature T, seems to be dependent on the preparation history of the solid polymer phase. Thermal annealing of the films just below Tg does not introduce crystallinity but inhibits subsequent cold crystallization a t higher temperatures. Crystallization upon cooling from the crystalline melt has not been observed either. At temperatures just above the crystalline melting point the polymer starts to decompose in an exothermic reaction.

“…A rapid mass loss occurred during the second peak, suggesting thermal decomposition of Na-2-OH-2,6,6-TMBHS. A similar observation of considerable weight loss at the exothermic peak during TGA and DSC for polytriazoles has been reported . Furthermore, the exothermic peak associated with crystallization during TGA and DSC analyses has been discussed in the literature. , Because of probable thermal decomposition, the value of T m for Na-2-OH-2,6,6-TMBHS could not be predicted.…”

“…DSC thermogram of F3 AmB DMP tips conducted between 0ºC and 180ºC showed a broad endothermic peak at about 160°C. The broad shape and the peak shift from 144°C to 160°C indicated that the reduced crystallinity of the tips and the interaction between the drug and the polymer matrices [85,86]. The increase in temperature during DSC analysis and the relatively small particle size of micronised AmB particles in F3 AmB DMP tips may promote interaction of the AmB crystal with the polymer matrices.…”
