Abstract: | The introduction of ionic additives, such as KCN, or acidic comonomer units, such as methacrylic acid, which change the nature of the mechanism of nitrile oligomerization reaction from radical to ionic and cause its initiation at lower temperature, allows the level of obscurity and the total amount of smoke production, both in smouldering and flaming conditions to be decreased. An opposite result is obtained if diphenylpicrylhydrayl (DPPH) radicals in polyacrylonitrile is introduced; DPPH retards the initiation of the radical nitrile oligomerization reaction. The acrylonitrile-methacrylic acid copolymers have a limiting oxygen index, which increases with the methacrylic acid content. Owing to the increased amount of NH3 produced during pyrolysis, the copolymers have a swelling behavior during the combustion test. |
