Abstract: It has been established that the process of destruction of the investigated polymers occurs in stages. One of the stages is the process of destruction of sulfo groups whose rate does not depend on the presence of oxygen in the system. Calculations have been made of the kinetic parameters of the separate stages of destruction of poly (ary lene quinones). The destruction is accompanied by crosslinking reactions which transform the initial linear structure of the polymers into a branched and cross-linked structure.
