The effect of a hydrogen-donor solvent tetralin on thermal degradation of poly(styrene-allyl alcohol) in liquid solution was investigated in a steady-state tubular flow reactor at 1000 psig at various tetralin concentrations, polymer concentrations, and temperatures. The experimental data were interpreted with continuous- mixture kinetics, and rate coefficients determined for the specific and random degradation processes.
