In this paper, the synthesis and characterization of thermal properties of porous copolymers 1-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone with trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate are presented. They were obtained by suspension polymerization as a pure polymers or composite materials with different inorganic fillers. The influence of the type of filler on the textural and thermal properties was investigated in details. It was found that the value of the porous surface area of composites is much lower than in the case of pure copolymers. Thermal properties of the obtained materials were investigated by the means of thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry.
