A study on the thermal stability of the photopolymer, the ozopolymer, and the photochlorinated derivative of C-60 fullerene

摘要

The thermal stability of the C-60 photopolymer, the C-60 ozopolymer, and photochlorinated C-60 was studied by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) and TGA-differential thermal analysis techniques up to 950 degreesC in comparison to graphite and pure C-60 The ozopolymer was found to be the least stable material followed by C60Clx. The resulting residual carbonaceous matter formed by the decomposition of the photopolymer and the ozopolymer has been studied by Fourier transform-infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and has been found to be completely comparable to carbon black. The thermal decomposition of the C-60 photopolymer prepared in solution yields negligible amounts of C-60 The main product is carbon black. [References: 13]
