A soluble polyimide (PI2080) was thermally and thermo-oxidatively degraded. Crosslinking was found to proceed under both conditions. Crosslinking densities of degraded samples were estimated before and after the gel point by gel permeation chromatography and by a new method using thermomechanical an

A mechanism for the thermal degradation of cellulose triacetate in vacuo is proposed, having as its principal features deacetylation in the polymer chain and chain-scission at the 1,4glycosidic linkages between pyranose rings. The former process results in formation of acetic acid, the latter in the
## Abstract The thermal degradation of aromatic polyimides in nitrogen at 700°C was studied using pyrolysis gas chromatography, infrared spectroscopy, and radiochemical techniques. Degradation mechanisms were postulated to account for the breakdown products found and to explain variations in the ra
The structures of isoimide cycles in polyimides were elucidated from i.r. and 13C NMR spectra of N-phenylphthalimide and N-phenylphthalisoimide. Using i.r. and gas-chromatographic data, conversion of isoimide cycles to the imide form was studied as a function of temperature. This process is irrevers
