Tóm tắt

AbstractThe depolymerization of a triazeno‐group containing photopolymer, poly[oxy‐1,4‐phenyleneazo(methylimino)hexamethylene(methylimino)azo‐1,4‐phenylene], is investigated in a tetrahydrofuran (THF) solution. Irradiation of the material leads to a clean decomposition of the photolabile polymer, as monitored by UV spectroscopy and gel‐permeation chromatography (GPC). As compared to the photolysis in THF solution, the light‐induced decomposition rate of a polymer in a polymer film is shown to be much slower. The highly photosensitive triazeno group also decomposes thermally at temperatures above approx. 220°C. The kinetics of thermal degradation of the polymer in substance was investigated at a temperature of 256°C, and monitored by GPC measurements. During this decomposition, one first observes the development of higher molar‐mass fractions, which result from grafting reactions of primary radicals. Upon further thermolysis the triazene polymer is completely degraded to low‐molar‐mass products. The volatile decomposition products were identified by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) analysis. The protolytic decomposition, which represents the retrosynthesis of the triazene polymer, was studied in a 9:1 mixture of tetrahydrofuran and an aqueous citrate buffer solution. Although the decomposition rate in this solvent mixture is slow, as compared to the depolymerization in diluted hydrochloric acid, a clean decomposition of the triazene polymer is obtained.
