(a) Schematic representation of thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) instrument, (b) more complex overall degradation mechanism for poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) made by free radical polymerization (FRP) as compared to PMMA made by anionic polymerization (AP); comparison of mass loss (here symbol W) for sample C (FRP) and sample H (AP) using TGA and differential thermal analysis (DTG) analysis; reproduced with the permission from ACS [28].
