A new and relatively convenient procedure for obtaining kinetic parameters in the degradation of high polymers is described and the necessary experimental procedure is outlined. Results for the degradation of Teflon are compared with several previously reported methods and the agreement is found to be good. Some advantages and disadvantages of the various methods are discussed.
