The thermostability and thermal decomposition kinetics of methyl cellulose (MC), ethyl cellulose (EC), carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC), and hydroxypropyl-methyl cellulose (HPMC) were characterized in nitrogen and air by thermogravimetry (TG). Various methods of kinetic an
## Abstract Untreated and flame‐retardant‐treated cellulose were thermally decomposed under vacuum and the products were quantitatively analyzed by gas chromatography. An unidentified product at a retention index of 2270 (between 5‐methylfurfural and 5‐hydroxymethylfurfural), α‐ and β‐D‐glucose, an
The fractionated volatile products arising from the stepwise thermal degradation of cellulose triacetate in vaeuo are analysed by gas-solid chromatography, mass spectrometry, i.r. and NMR spectroscopy, and chemical tests. Gas evolution data resemble those reported for the thermal degradation of cell
A mechanism for the thermal degradation of cellulose triacetate in vacuo is proposed, having as its principal features deacetylation in the polymer chain and chain-scission at the 1,4glycosidic linkages between pyranose rings. The former process results in formation of acetic acid, the latter in the
