Effect of C60 on the thermal stability of polyethylene glycol grafted to it

Abstract
The thermal degradation of regular polymer networks, cross-linked by C60 molecules along the end groups of polyethylene glycol, has been investigated by mass-spectrometric thermal analysis for the example of polyethylene glycol grafted to fullerene C60. The character of the thermal degradation of the networks is substantially different from that of free polyethylene glycol and other polymer systems investigated earlier. The grafting to C60 increases the thermal stability of polyethylene glycol.
