The thermal degradation of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) having different degrees of hydrolysis and molecular weights was studied by thermogravimetry (TGA) and differential thermogravimetry (DTGA). Four degradation events were identified whose intensity was related to the degree of hydrolysis. It was verified that the solid-state degradation mechanism for high hydrolysis degrees corresponded to eliminating water-forming side groups in stoichiometric amounts. The presence of acetate groups and lower melting points delayed the polymer’s thermal decomposition at lower hydrolysis degrees. There was no direct correlation in these samples between weight-loss during the first degradation event and the stoichiometric quantities which would be produced by eliminating the side groups. Reaction order and energy activation value qualitative coincidence was found by evaluating experimental data by using Freeman-Carroll and Friedman kinetic models.
En esta investigación se estudió la degradación térmica de poli(alcohol vinílico) (PVA) con diferentes grados de hidrólisis y pesos moleculares, mediante termogravimetría (TGA) y termogravimetría diferencial (DTG). Se identificaron cuatro eventos de degradación cuya intensidad depende del grado de hidrólisis y peso molecular del PVA. Se verificó que para altos grados de hidrólisis el mecanismo de degradación en estado sólido corresponde al desprendimiento de grupos laterales formando agua en cantidades de orden estequiométrico. Para grados de hidrólisis menores, la interacción con los grupos acetato y la menor temperatura de fusión retrasa la descomposición del polímero. En estas muestras no hubo correlación directa entre la pérdida de peso en el primer evento degradativo, y las cantidades estequiométricas que se generarían por desprendimiento de grupos laterales. Se encontró una coincidencia cualitativa entre los órdenes de reacción y las energías de activación al evaluar los datos experimentales mediante los métodos de Freeman-Carroll y Friedman.
