Abstract: | The thermal degradation of poly(butylene terephthalate) between 240° and 280°C has been studied by measurements of intrinsic viscosity, carboxyl end groups and weight loss. A first-order mechanism of fission, followed by elimination of butadiene, is proposed. The values of the kinetic constant and activation energy are in good agreement with those obtained for simple esters and poly(ethylene terephthalate). |
