Thermally stable macromolecules.
Man-made polymers are compared with certain naturally occurring polymers which have long been used at elevated temperatures. The pyrolysis of model compounds is discussed together with aspects of thermogravimetric analysis, torsional braid analysis, and questions of chemical and radiation stability. Some structure-property relationships are examined, giving attention to asbestos, mica, graphite, and diamond. Questions of bond strengths are investigated along with the stability of ladder polymers and some fundamental concepts in the synthesis of aromatic and heteroaromatic polymers. The substances considered include aromatic single-strand polymers, heteroaromatic polymers, polymers obtained by addition polymerizations, and nonhydrogen-containing polymers. Future trends are also explored.

Quinoxaline polymers and copolymers derived from 1, 4-BIS(1'-napthalenyloxayl) benzene
A route for the synthesis of a new monomer, 1,4-bis(1'-naphthalenyl)-oxayl benzene, was devised, and six polymers and copolymers were prepared from this monomer, 1,4-bis(phenyloaxaly)benzene, 3,3'-diaminobenzidine and 3,3',4,4'-tetraaminobenzophenone. Thermogravimetric analysis showed that decomposition of these quinoxaline polymers and copolymers sets in at about 500 C but does not become significant in an inert atmosphere below 600 C. Oxidation becomes significant at about 550 C and the phenylquinoxaline homopolymer is somewhat more oxidation resistant than is the 1-naphthalenylquinoxaline homopolymer. Stress-relaxation measurements showed that, with two exceptions, the homopolymers and copolymers exhibited two second-order transition temperatures, one at about 204.4 C (400 F) and the other at about 315.6 C (600 F). No gross differences in the high temperature plasticity was observed between the naphthalenyl- and the phenyl-quinoaxaline homopolymers. Work was begun on a method for cross-linking polyquinoxalines. A new monomer, p-(methyloxaly)benzil, was synthesized, and model reaction studies showed that cross-linking of 2-methylquinoxaline polymers by a Michael condensation with dimaleimides will probably occur.

The synthesis of higher oxides of alkali and alkaline earth metals in an electric discharge: Theoretical and experimental studies
Potassium hydroxide was subjected to the products of an electrical discharge sustained in oxygen and produced both potassium peroxide and superoxide. The conversion to higher oxides was shown to strongly depend upon the particle size of KOH, the position of KOH in the discharge zone, and the operating conditions of the discharge. Similar experiments were performed with hydroxides of lithium and calcium which do not form superoxides, but are converted to peroxides. The yields of peroxides were shown to strongly depend upon the operating conditions of the discharge. The absence of superoxides and the presence of peroxides of lithium and calcium was explained from the consideration of relative thermodynamic stability of the oxides of lithium and calcium. Thermogravimetric analysis was shown to provide a more accurate means for determining the amount of KO2 than previous methods.

Interaction of hydrogen chloride with alumina
The influence of outgas conditions and temperature on the adsorptive properties of two aluminas Alon-c and Al6sG were studied using adsorption isotherm measurements. Alon-C and Al6SG were characterized using X-ray powder diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and BET nitrogen surface areas. Some of these techniques were applied to two other aluminas but no isotherm data was obtained. Isotherm data and techniques applied to each alumina are summarized in tabular form.

A composite system approach to aircraft cabin fire safety
The thermochemical and flammability characteristics of two polymeric composites currently in use and seven others being considered for use as aircraft interior panels are described. The properties studied included: (1) limiting oxygen index of the composite constituents; (2) fire containment capability of the composite; (3) smoke evolution from the composite; (4) thermogravimetric analysis; (5) composition of the volatile products of thermal degradation; and (6) relative toxicity of the volatile products of pyrolysis. The performance of high temperature laminating resins such as bismaleimides is compared with the performance of phenolics and epoxies. The relationship of increased fire safety with the use of polymers with high anaerobic char yield is shown. Processing parameters of one of the baremaleimide composites are detailed.

New aromatic silicon-containing polyamides
The experiments described were aimed at studying systematically the effect of silyl linkages on the thermogravimetric and thermomechanical properties of aromatic polyamides. Specifically, 18 aromatic silicon-containing polyamides were synthesized via interfacial polymerization of six silicon-containing diacid chlorides with 3,3-prime-diaminodiphenylmethane, 3,3-prime-diaminobenzophenone, and 1-(3-prime-aminobenzyl)-4-(3-double prime-aminobenzoyl)benzene. All polyamides were soluble in m-cresol and N,N-dimethylacetamide, and had glass transition temperatures between 178 and 254 C. Thermogravimetric analysis conducted in static air on film specimens showed 5 and 10 percent weight losses between 331 and 400 C and 354 and 440 C, respectively. The potential gain in processability engendered by incorporation of silane substituents was offset in most cases by substantial losses in thermo-oxidative stability.
