Known that the molecular properties, such as, chemical composition, stereochemical, molecular weight and molecular weight distribution are directly related with polymer properties and which in turn, are a reflection of the kinetic history of the reaction occurred during its formation. For this reason, when we think about the design of homopolymers, a blend of polymers or copolymers, glass transition temperature (Tg) is a very important parameter to consider as it defines in a way its flexibility, which influence on final properties of the material. In this work is present the thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) for different composition of poly(diisopropil fumarate -co- p-nitrobenzyl acrylate) [P(DIPF-NBA)] and degradation activation energies were calculated for each composition.
