Abstract
Butyl rubber was pyrolysed under an inert atmosphere in a furnace-type pyrolyser at 400 degrees C. The pyrolysate was trapped cryogenically and analysed by GC, GC/MS and GC/FTIR. Based on these data, a mechanis m for the thermal degradation of butyl rubber is proposed. The effect of temperature on the reative yields of the major decomposition produc ts was also studied.
