Anhydrides production is newly proposed as an additional pyrolysis mechanism of a biopolymer, poly(3hydroxybutyrate) (PHB). In spite of many suggestions of multiple degradation mechanisms, simple random chain scission by b elimination has been accepted as an exclusive mechanism of the thermal degrad...
