The thermo-oxidative degradation of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), polydimethylsiloxane block poly(methyl methacrylate) copolymer (PDMS-b-PMMA) and phosphorus functionalized poly(methyl methacrylate) (DEVP-PMMA) were studied by using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) in oxidizing (air) atmosphere. The apparent activation energies for thermo-oxidative degradation of these copolymers were calculated by the Ozawa method, and compared with values for thermal degradation. The average activation energies for the 10-70% conversion in air were found to be in the order of PMMA > PDMS-b-PMMA > DEVP-PMMA. In addition, the average activation energies for PDMS-b-PMMA and PMMA in air were lower than that in nitrogen, whereas the average activation energy for DEVP-PMMA in air was greater than that in nitrogen.
