Thermal and photocatalytic stability enhancement mechanism of poly(propylene carbonate) due to Cu(I) impurities
Polymer Degradation and Stability(2012)
摘要
The thermal and photolytic decomposition of poly(propylene carbonate) (PPC) in the presence of a photoacid generator (PAG) was studied. The mechanism of previously observed shifts in the decomposition temperature of PPC was investigated. The decomposition temperature of PPC can be altered when PPC/PAG films contact copper metal. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis showed that a small amount Cu(I) was incorporated into the PPC/PAG film causing the increased stability and the Cu(I) concentration was similar to that of the PAG. PPC/PAG temperature stability was studied for a number of iodonium and sulfonium-based PAGs. Every iodonium-based PAG showed a PPC decomposition temperature shift and no sulfonium-based PAG showed the thermal stability effect. It appears that Cu(I) interacts with iodonium in the cation of the PAG causing a change in the acid creation mechanism of the PAG.
