Inhibition of the thermal decomposition of polyethylene terephthalate by additions of borate polyesters and alkalis

  • Published:
Bulletin of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, Division of chemical science Aims and scope

Conclusions

  1. 1.

    The kinetic principles of the thermal destruction of polyethylene, inhibited by additions of KOH, and polypyrocatechol borate (PCB) were investigated.

  2. 2.

    The two inhibitors are close in effectiveness and act primarily on the breakdown of side chains, without affecting the cleavage of the principal chain of the macromolecule.

  3. 3.

    The inhibiting action of PCB on the thermal decomposition of polyethylene terephthalate is accompanied by cross-linking of the fragments of the macromolecules of the destructured polymer.
