Non-isothermal depolymerisation kinetics of poly(ethylene oxide)

Abstract: The depolymerization of low molecular weight poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) under mild conditions was studied using a linear temperature ramped non-isothermal technique and the results compared with those obtained from a conventional isothermal technique. The analysis of the non-isothermal kinetic (NIK) data was performed using an original computer program incorporating an algorithm that systematically minimizes the sum of the squares of the residuals between the experimental data and the calculated theoretical ki… Show more

“…As can be seen from Figure S1, P(3HB) hydrolysis in acetic acid solution results in exponential decay of molecular weight with the time. Depolymerisation/degradation processes have been modelled as random scission of macromolecular chains for different types of polymers (Cran, Gray, Scheirs, & Bigger, 2011;Martens et al, 2011;Staggs, 2002). Kinetic data for P(3HB) hydrolysis are reported in Figure S1.…”
