The thermal degradation of poly(o-acetylstyrene) (POAS) was studied at 390°C under high vacuum. The principal reactions are removal and decomposition of acetyl groups, depolymerization, random chain scission and oligomer formation. The degradation mechanism resembles that of polystyrene (PS) but the

## Abstract **Summary:** Aliphatic polyesters have attracted industrial attention as environmentally degradable thermoplastics to be used for a wide range of applications. Besides intensive studies on the biodegradability of aliphatic polyesters, understanding of the thermal stability has importanc
Translational diffusion in 96% H2S04 and intrinsic viscosity of poly(naphthoy1eneimide benzimidazole) (PNIB) have been investigated in different stages of its degradation in solution in the temperature range from 65 to 120OC. The degradation rate constant k has been determined from the change in mol
Due to their interesting properties, zwitterionic polymers have been extensively studied; however, only a few reports discuss their thermal degradation. The objective of this work was to study the pattern of thermal degradation of three poly-(sulfobetaines) with different lateral chain lengths and t
