Structural-Chemical Conception of Stabilization of Aromatic Polymers as Exemplified by Arylene Carboranes

Abstract The paper discusses the specific features of thermal behaviour of carborane-containing polymers and the stabilizing effect of the carborane groups as exemplified by arylene carboranes. The results obtained explain as a whole the stabilizing effect of aromatic polymers by carborane-containing additives.

Condensation of carboranes-12 with tri- and tetrachloroethylenes

The interaction ofortho-, meta-carboranes with tri- and tetrachloroethylene was investigated at 380°C in the absence of radical sources and at 150–200°C in the presence oftert-butyl peroxide.

Peroxide-initiated condensation of carboranes-12 with 1,2-dichloroethylene

The interaction of carboranes-12 with 1,2-dichloroethylene was investigated at 150–200°C in the presence oftert-butyl peroxide as an initiator.
