This study was aimed to reveal the kinetic and mechanistic features of the thermal degradation of linear poly(lactic acid) oligomer (PLAO) by analyzing the evolved gases and overall rate behavior during mass-loss processes. The thermal degradation reaction involved two partially overlapping mass-loss steps. The first mass-loss step started right after the reactant melted and was accompanied with the...
