What is Tests on the Hydrolysis of Certain Synthetic Polymers about?

## Abstract Polymers of methyl methacrylate, methyl acrylate, vinyl acetate, and acrylonitrile labeled with carbon‐14 in the functional groups have been prepared. The labeled polymers have been subjected to hydrolysis, and the specific activities before and after treatment have been compared. Almost complete hydrolysis of polymethyl acrylate and polyvinyl alcohol is readily achieved. It has been confirmed that polymethyl methacrylate is rather resistant to hydrolysis, but ester endgroups in this polymer are easily detached. During treatment of polyacrylonitrile with acid or alkali, no carbon atoms are lost from the polymer.
