The primary fragmentation mechanisms in the thermal decomposition of several polycarbonates were studied by direct pyrolysis into the mass spectrometer. Our results indicate that ester exchange reactions predominate in the primary thermal fragmentation process of polycarbonates, causing the formation of cyclic oligomers.
