Popis: Isotactic and atactic poly(4-methyl-1-pentene) powders were degraded in the presence of pure oxygen at temperatures of 145° and 175°C. The functional groups present in the nonvolatile products were identified using infrared spectroscopy. The volatile products that formed were identified by means of a relativly new technique which combines gas chromatography and mass spectroscopy. In this study, seventeen volatile products were detected and identified and their relative abundance estimated. The results obtained could readily be reproduced. Various oxidation mechanisms for these products are postulated.
