Abstract:The whole process of the thermal decomposition of GAP was investigated by thermolysis-MS,TG-DTG-FTIR,in-situ thermolysis-FTIR coupling techniques,and possible mechanisms of GAP′s thermal decomposition is proposed. It has been proved that the major decomposition products in the gas phase include N2,NH3,HCHO,HCN,H2CCO etc. In the condensed phase,the formation of some aromatic intermediates was observed,and when temperature raised to 450 ℃,the characteristic absorbances of aromatics disappeared and a black-brown residue was formed.
