Abstract
The degradation mechanism of gels from poly(vinylpyridine N-oxide) was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry, C, H, N analysis, infra-red spectroscopy and degradability tests. It was found that poly(2-vinyl pyridine N-oxide) gels, regardless of the persulphate initiator used, were weaker than poly(4-vinyl pyridine N-oxide) gels. C, H, N analysis and infra-red spectroscopy indicated that the initiator becomes an integral part of the gels. A mechanism for the formation of the gels is proposed.
