THERMAL DEGRADATION IN NON-ISOTHERMAL CONDITIONS OF SOME FERROCENE DERIVATIVES
Abstract
The study of the thermal behavior of some symmetrically monosubstituted and disubstituted ferrocene derivatives, with liquid crystal properties, presented in this work, assesses the structure – thermal stability relation, necessary for the knowledge of the field of applicability, of the processing conditions and for the valorization of industrial waste. The influence of the length of the flexible part, of the azoaromatic unit and of the presence of the cholesteryl unit on thermal stability has been proven.
