This book presents investigation results of thermal transformations inthermoresistant polymers: polysulfones, polyester-imides,aliphatic-aromatic polyimides and polyamides, liquid-crystal aromaticco-polyesters, polyphenylquinoxalines at temperatures of materials andarticles processing and operation.
An important result of investigations is the determination ofthermooxidative degradation regularities for aliphatic-aromaticheterochain polymers and description of the degradation mechanism.
The applied aspect of this work is the approach to stabilization ofthermoresistant polymers and composite materials derived from them usingadditives and analysis of the mechanism of high-temperature inhibitedoxidation.
The book presents results which have been obtained through many years ofresearch until recently, mostly obtained by scientists of G.S. PetrovResearch Institute of Polymeric Materials (Moscow, Russia) -- one of theleading Institutes in this branch -- which have not been available ininternational scientific publications before.
