Abstract
An overview is presented of the thermal degradation behaviour of a number of alternating copolymers, including maleic anhydride copolymers with vinyl acetate, isopropenyl acetate, allyl acetate, trans-stilbene and acenaphthylene, respectively, and diethyl maleate copolymers with vinyl and isopropenyl acetate. Mechanisms of degradation are considered. Several of these structurally regular copolymers show preferential side group decomposition in one of the two monomer units present in the chain, with the result that a new copolymer structure can be prepared by controlled partial degradation.
