폴리(에틸렌글리콜)메틸에테르[poly (ethyleneglycol)nlethyl ether, MPEG] 곁사슬기와 짧고 강직한 디메틸페녹시(dimethylphenoxy) 곁사슬기를 갖는 폴리히드록시아미드(poly (hydroxyamide)s, PHAs)의 물성 및 난연특성을 DSC, TGA, FTIR, pyrolysis combustion flow calorimeter(PCFC), X-ray diffractometer를 사용하여 조사하였다. 중합체들의 최대분해온도는 공기 분위기하에서 $276{\sim}396^{\circ}C$의 범위를 보였다. PHAs의 heat release (HR) capacity와 total heat release (total HR) 값들은 MPEG의 분자량 증가에 따라 증가됨을 보였다. $290^{\circ}C$에서 열처리된 M-PHA 2의 경우 열처리 시간에 따라서 HR capacity 값들은 253 J/gK에서 42 J/gK로 감소하였고, 60% 중량 감소 온도는 $408^{\circ}C$에서 $856^{\circ}C$로 증가하였다. PHAs의 분해 활성화 에너지는 $129.3{\sim}235.1kJ/mol$의 범위를 보이고, 전환율에 따라 증가하였다. PHAs의 인장 모듈러스는 MPEG의 사슬길이가 증가함에 따라 감소하였으며, PBO로 전환된 후에는 초기 모듈러스보다 더 상승하였다.
Physical properties and flammability of polyhydroxyamides (PHAs) haying poly (ethylene-glycol) methyl ether (MPEG) and/or dimethylphenoxy pendants were studied by using DSC, TGA, FTIR, pyrolysis combustion flow calorimeter (PCFC), and X-ray diffractometer. The degradation temperatures of the polymers were recorded in the ranges of $276{\sim}396^{\circ}C$ in air. PCFC results showed that the heat release (HR) capacity and total heat release (total HR) values of the PHAs were increased with in-creasing molecular weight of MPEG. In case of M-PHA 2 annealed at $290^{\circ}C$, the values of HR capacity were siginificantly decreased from 253 to 42 J/gK, and 60% weight loss temperatures increased from 408 to $856^{\circ}C$ with an annealing temperature. The activation energy for the decomposition reaction of the PHAs showed in the range of $129.3{\sim}235.1kJ/mol$, which increased with increasing conversion. Tensile modulus of PHAs were decreased as increasing chain of MPEG, and showed an increase more than initial modulus after converted to PBOs.
