    Poly(imide-siloxane) (PIS) block copolymers have been studied with respect to their structure and surface properties relationship. The relatively small amount of siloxane in PIS block copolymer, 10-20 wt.%, increased significantly the contact angle of water due to the surface hydrophobization of the copolymer. The significant decrease of the surface energy of the PIS copolymer due to growth of the siloxane content was observed. The polar component of surface energy shows an intense decrease, whereas its dispersive component increases. The study of the morphology of PIS copolymers characterized by The X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) analysis showed an excessive increase of Si on the polymeric surface. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) shows a growth of the surface roughness by increase of the content of siloxane.

    ABSTRACT The degradation of pure polymers such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene and poly(methyl methacrylate) in nitrogen and oxygen was characterized by means of non-isothermal thermogravimetry, chemiluminescence and differential scanning calorimetry. The link between the results of the different methods based on Bolland Gee scheme of polymer oxidation is described. From the set of parameters determined from the thermogravimetry, the rate constants based upon the sum of several temperature dependent first-order processes were calculated and compared with those obtained by an iso-conversional method derived for several heating rates. Competition between propagation of oxidation and depolymerisation to monomer is proposed to explain the differences in kinetic behaviour of the examined polymers.
