Ethyl methacrylate(EMA)‐ n ‐butyl methacrylate ( n BuMA) copolymer containing anhydrous ferric chloride was prepared by free radical polymerization at 70°C. TGA studies show that the addition of ferric chloride increases the thermal stability of the copolymer. Mössbauer studies of the copolymers showed the presence of Fe 3+ species only. Mössbauer studies of the copolymer heated at 150°C, 250°C, and 500°C for 1 h showed that during the thermal degradation, Fe 3+ species are reduced to Fe 2+ and then finally α‐Fe 2 O 3 is formed. The mechanism of thermal degradation has been proposed on the basis of IR, TGA, and Mössbauer studies.
