THERMAL DECOMPOSITION OF POLYMER COMPOSITE OF POLYTETRAFLUOROETHYLENE AND DETONATION NANODIAMONDS

Abstract

The effect of nanodiamond filler on the thermal decomposition of polytetrafluoroethylene composites under vacuum pyrolysis was studied by means of thermodesoption mass spectrometry. The results indicate that the presence of nanodiamonds affects both the temperature profiles and the chemical composition of decomposition products.
