✦ Synopsis
The hydrolytic degradation of hyaluronic acid (HA) was investigated by kinetic measurements. The first-order rate constants of the hydrolytic degradation of HA at different pH and temperature were obtained on the basis of the decrease in the molecular weight of HA. In addition, from the rate constant, we obtained the activation entropy (AS+) and enthalpy (AH*), and under all conditions studied the experimental data gave linear plots according to an isokinetic relationship.

## Abstract Degradation of hyaluronic acid (measured viscometrically) by oxygen‐derived free radicals (ODFR) generated 1) by autoxidation of ferrous EDTA chelates and 2) enzymatically by xanthine oxidase and hypoxanthine (XO/HX) was studied. Degradation of hyaluronic acid by XO/HX was strongly inhi
Abstraet--A kinetic study of anhydride formation in isotactic and atactic polymethacryiic acids (PMA) has been performed at about 200 ° using a vacuum thermobalance. The results obey first order kinetics and show that the rate of water loss is about four times higher for the isotaetic PMA than for t
