✦ Synopsis

A pure model compound for potyacrylonitrile, 1,3,5,7-tetracyanoheptane, was shown to discolour thermally in a similar manner to the polymer. This and other evidence is presented to support the view that thermal degradation of polyacrylonitrile is a free radical reaction involving tertiary hydrogen atoms.

## Abstract The theory that β‐ketonitrile structures initiate discoloration reactions in polyacrylonitrile has been tested by a number of methods. Using radiochemical techniques the numbers of carbonyl groups in various polymers have been measured as have the amounts of combined water. A model β‐ke
