Abstract

The thermo-oxidative degradation of PET was investigated. Using turbidimetric titration the distribution of molecular mass at different degradation steps was determined. Chemical and molecular transformations of the polymers during degradation were also analyzed. It is shown that vinylic end groups are involved in radical reactions and determine the increase of the molecular mass. © 1984 Springer-Verlag.
