Abstract:The insertion of meta units in the chain of poly-p-xylylene decreases both the onset temperature of oxidative degradation and the rate of decomposition.Functionalization of the polymer w~th chlorine and sulphonic groups makes the chain more resistant to high temperature treatments, notwithstanding the low stability of the substituent groups.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
