The acceleratory degradation of solids represents an area of research where extreme care must be exercised to obtain reproducible data. Different preparations of the same substance often show great variation in degradation patterns. Many kinetic equations have been developed to describe the kinetics of acceleratory degradations. Most of them are empirical and apply only to certain phases of a degradation. The non-steady-state kinetics which were developed to describe the zip degradation of poly(vinyl chloride) will be shown to describe effectively the unusual degradation behavior of inorganic solids that follow an acceleratory pattern.

The degradation of five samples of PVC having different degrees of polymerization has been studied by a technique that permits a precise measurement of the rate of hydrogen chloride elimination as % HCl/min. All samples followed acceleratory kinetics at both low and high conversions. The conversion rate, which changed from the beginning to the end of a degradation, depended primarily upon the fraction of chains producing hydrogen chloride. The fraction of producing chains and the kinetic pattern were influenced by the presence of hydrogen chloride, the physical state of the sample, the previous degradation history, and the presence of intentionally added substances. Zipper kinetics permit the reproduction of kinetic data in terms of three parameters: k1, the fraction of chains initiating per second, k2, the fraction of a zip chain that zips per second, and k3, an arbitrary parameter that accounts for residual hydrogen chloride after degradation has ceased.
Kinetic equations have been developed for polymers that decompose by the zipper mechanism. The usual assumption of steady state kinetics has not been made. Plots of the fraction decomposed α, as a function of time demonstrate a variety of patterns depending upon the relative values of the fraction k1, of chains becoming activated per second and the fraction k2 of an activated chain that decomposes per second.
AbstractEquations derived on the basis of a zipper mechanism under conditions where steadystate kinetics did not apply were found to represent the kinetics of the thermal decomposition of poly(vinyl chloride) in the temperature range 220–240°C.
