Abstract
The thermal behaviour of several metal acrylates and methacrylates was investigated and the temperature characteristics were determined. The main decomposition of the monomer was preceded by thermal polymerization. The values of the peak temperatures of this effect do not correlate either with the thermal stabilities or with theQ values of the Alfrey-Price scheme of the monomers. The thermal resistance of the salts depends on the type of cations present, but there is no simple relationship. Divalent metal acrylates are thermally more stable than the corresponding methacrylates.
