Notes:
The thermal oxidation and photo-oxidation of poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) have been examined. Oxidation of the plastic results in the evolution of carbon dioxide, nitrogen and traces of hydrogen, the introduction of considerable crosslinking, and increased absorption in the hydroxyl and carbonyl regions of the infrared spectrum. A free-radical oxidation mechanism is postulated.
