The products obtained on degradation of poly( m ‐aminostyrene) in vacuo are described. The effect of molecular weight and pyrolysis temperature are discussed and the behavior of poly( m ‐aminostyrene) compared with that of polystyrene. Quantitative analytical methods using ultra‐violet spectroscopy and gas liquid chromatography are described for m ‐aminostyrene and m ‐toluidine. The possible mechanisms of degradation to yield the products are discussed.
