Abstract
The thermal stability of the C60 photopolymer, the C60 ozo-polymer, and photochlorinated C60 was studied by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) and TGA-differential thermal analysis techniques up to 950°C in comparison to graphite and pure C60. The ozopolymer was found to be the least stable material followed by C60Cl x . The resulting residual carbonaceous matter formed by the decomposition of the photopolymer and the ozopolymer has been studied by Fourier transform-infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and has been found to be completely comparable to carbon black. The thermal decomposition of the C60 photopolymer prepared in solution yields negligible amounts of C60. The main product is carbon black.Keywords
