Abstract

Polymers containing vanadium, molybdenum, nickel, copper and zinc ions have been synthesized by reaction of resol- bisphenol A formaldehyde resin (RBF) with the schiff base complexes of these metal ions. The incorporation of metal ions, especially the molybdenum ion, into the polymer matrices produced polymers with good thermal stability. The resulting metal containing polymers showed higher thermal stability. The thermal analysis of the obtained polymers were evaluated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).
