Abstract: The decompn. of (BzO)₂ in poly(Me methacrylate) at 79.8° in N for 10 hrs. was studied. The kinetic character of the process indicates chain-reactions with the induced decompn. as a reaction of a higher order. Comparison with (BzO)₂ decompn. in other polymers and various interpretations of the process were discussed.
