TY - JOUR AU - Gribanov, Alexander V. AB - By mass‐spectrometric thermal analysis (MTA) the thermochemical features of poly(N‐vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) and its compositions with fullerene C60 were studied. The mechanism of PVP thermal degradation was investigated; in particular the nature of the low‐temperature degradation (between 75 and 300°C) accompanied by output of pyrrolidone was explained as well as the influence of fullerene C60 on this mechanism. It was shown that during thermal degradation of copolymer PVP‐C60, there is a disappearance of the low‐temperature peaks of the output of pyrrolidone that is interpreted as an increase of the thermal stability of N‐vinyl‐pyrrolidone fragments in this product in comparison with their thermal stability in pure PVP.
