Gel permeation chromatography was used to follow changes in the molecular weight distribution of a polyisobutene, initial = 466,000, during degradation induced by sonic irradiation. In general, a steady decrease in molecular weight was observed, although a bimodal distribution was present after 20,
The mechanical shear degradation of polydisperse polyisobutene and monodisperse polystyrene in oils of different viscosities in the concentration range of 0.1% to 1% was studied using a high-shear concentric cylinder viscometer under laminar and uniform well-defined shear field conditions.

Polymer degradation occurs when macromolecular chains are broken under the injluence of thermal, mechanical or chemical energy. Chain-end depolymerization and random-and midpoint-chain scission are mechanisms that have been observed in liquidphase polymer degradation. Here we develop mathematical mo
