a Comparison of DSC traces of PBMA (H1), PIBMA (H4), and poly(IBMA-co-BMA) (C2). The single glass transition temperature obtained for the copolymer solidifies that a truly random copolymer has been produced after polymerization rather than forming different blocks or blends of the same monomers. b DSC trace comparison of PMMA prepared using US (H3), and PMMA prepared using conventional thermally initiated FRP (H6). The Tg for the UHMW polymer prepared using US is more than that prepared using the conventional FRP. (c) TGA and (d) DTG thermogram of H3 and H6. The H3 showed better degradation stability than H6 due to the absence of head-to-head linkages.
