Abstract

The results of thermal analysis of speciality elastomers CSM with different chlorine and sulphur contents is presented in the article. The thermal curves obtained under the atmosphere of inert gas have been interpreted from the point of view of phase transitions and chemical reactions of the examined polymers during their heating. It has been stated that from among the investigated chlorosulphonated polyethylenes, only CSM24, which has the lowest chlorine content, contains a crystalline phase, clearly influences on its T g temperature. Results of the thermal analysis obtained under inert gas atmosphere have been compared with results obtained under termooxidative atmosphere. Irrespective of the research atmosphere, the thermal decomposition of investigated CSM takes place in three stages. The maximum rate of thermal destruction of modified by heating elastomers, dm/dt, decreases with the increase in chlorine content in the sample having been heated.
