The thermal stability of Eudragits RL, RS, E 30D, and E films was qualitatively investigated by the reflectance Fourier transform infrared microspectroscopy equipped with differential scanning calorimetry (FTIR/DSC microscopic system). DSC and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) were also used to study the thermal behavior of the granules of the raw material and the film of these polymers. The results indicate that the Eudragit RL, RS, or E 30D polymer exhibited a higher thermal‐stable behavior, but Eudragit E easily formed the six‐membered cyclic anhydride through heating process via the inter‐ or intramolecular ester condensation. The leaving group in Eudragit E molecule was larger than that in Eudragit E 30D, and the leaving group of salt in Eudragit RS or RL was too stable to polycondense. The DSC thermograms and TGA curve also confirmed this result. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 78: 829–835, 2000
