Abstract It is shown that the geometrical factor controlling a thermooxidative degradation course is effective spectral dimension d s ′or factor β. In turn, parameters d s ′and β are a function of a polymer melt structure characterized by its fractal dimension Δ f . The applicability of this or that scaling relationship allows the evaluation of general features of chemical reactions in the thermooxidative degradation process. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
