β¦ Synopsis
A~tract--The relative importance of intermolecular and intramolecular transfers is investigated in the thermal degradation of polymers, in particular polystyrene.
It is indicated that any mechanism for the pyrolysis behaviour of this polymer must include both modes of transfer. The model is offered as a diagnostic tool for mechanistic investigations of the thermal decompositions of polymers.

Comprehensive theoretical studies have been made on the effect of initiation and transfer to monomer on the molecular size distribution in living polymers. However, no detailed theoretical investigation involving spontaneous transfer has been reported so far. In the present paper, a study is made of
