Study reveals how common plastics degrade, impacting environment and health.

Weigh-in-Motion

The researchers studied how certain polyquinoxaline polymers break down when heated. They used techniques like thermogravimetry and mass spectrometry to analyze the process. The polymers showed better heat resistance and produced more carbon than regular polymers. The degradation happened in three steps, and the researchers figured out how it happens.
