What is The thermal degradation of poly(-(d)-β-hydroxybutyric acid): Part 1—Identification and quantitative analysis of products about?

Poly(-(D)-fl-hydroxybutyric acid) thermally degrades quantitatively under vacuum to volatile products at temperatures up to 338°C. Weight percentages oJ products are." dimer (41"2), crotonic acid (35"3), trimer (12.5), tetramer (2"9) and iso-crotonic acid (0"9). When the temperature is programmed to 500 °C either under vacuum or nitrogen at atmospheric pressure, small amounts of carbon dioxide, propene, ketene, acetaldehyde and fl-butyrolactone (only under vacuum) are also Jormed, but it is shown that these are secondary productsJormed byJurther decomposition of the primary products.

Who reads The thermal degradation of poly(-(d)-β-hydroxybutyric acid): Part 1—Identification and quantitative analysis of products?

It is typically read by researchers, students, and practitioners in Materials Science.
