Abstract The degradation of poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate)s in homo‐ and heterogeneous mixtures with selected salts of organic and mineral acids was investigated. Nonvolatile degradation products, of processes conducted at moderate temperatures (150–170 °C), were analyzed using 1 H NMR. Analysis of results...
