Abstract

Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) of .poly(methacrylates) containing indanyl moieties were performed. Different Tg-Mn relationships have been established in order to obtain the glass transition temperature in the limit of high molecular weight Tg∞ using samples of different number average molecular weight (Mn). Non linear dependence between Tg and Mn using different relationships is found. The values of Tg∞ is correlated with the chain rigidity parameters for these polymers. Thermogravimetric analysis shows different degradation profiles depending on the structure of the side chain of the polymer.
