Abstract
The mode of branching in poly(vinyl acetate) has been studied using reverse dye partition (RDP) technique developed in this laboratory. It has been observed that during hydrolysis of poly(vinyl acetate) the degree of polymerization of the polymer decreases in all cases. This degradation is found to be erratic. It may be caused by the separation of branches which were connected to the main chain through ester linkage. This idea has been confirmed by the detection of average one carboxyl endgroup in the resulting shorter polymer chains. The change in the number of endgroups in the parent and the corresponding hydrolysed polymer has been used as a tool for the estimation of number of branches in poly(vinyl acetate) molecules.
