Abstract

One of the primary factors influencing the research and development of rigid-rod polymers in the Materials Laboratory has been the excellent environmental resistance of this class of aromatic heterocyclic benzobisazole polymers. Thermal stability of these materials has been determined utilizing thermal analytical, Isothermal Aging and combined Thermal Gravimetric-Mass Spectrometry (TG-MS) techniques. Correlations between the thermal stability and chemical structure, varying substituent groups and processing conditions for these polymers have been observed. An overview of the thermal stability of these rigid-rod polymer systems is presented.
