Abstract

The kinetics of the production of random chain scissions by oxidative degradation of poly(oxytetramethylene) was determined during the radiation‐induced autoxidation of solutions of the polymer in chloroform at 25°C. Ethylene oxide resulting from autoxidation of ethylene produced by unimolecular decomposition of alkoxy‐1 alkylperoxy radicals partly inhibits the chain scission. This property allowed the characterization of the existence of a second primary mechanism of oxidative degradation of the polymer as non‐terminating bimolecular reaction of these peroxy radicals followed by a ß‐scission of the produced alkoxy radicals.
