and the oligomer have good thermal stabilities, and also
that the process of thermal decomposition occurs in two
steps as the DTA analysis revealed. DMA analysis of the
glycopolymers concluded that these materials can be used
in practice for different applications, due to their good
storage/loss modulus values when exposed to different
strain frequencies; also the storage modulus, the loss
modulus for the same glycopolymer generally increase
along the increase of the strain frequency, except for the Tg
values which suffer rather random behavior.
