The radiodepolymerization of starch is studied by means of investigating the variations of intrinsic viscosity and of the rate of water‐soluble products. The experimental results corroborate the theoretical laws proposed in an earlier paper. Special study of watersoluble products shows how the theoretical laws can be used to investigate the chemical functions radioinduced on the chains of dextrins.
