Abstract: Experimental results obtained by irradiating fractionated polystyrene in benzene with ultrasonics of 1 Mc/s frequency are given. Degradation is observed to take place, and the consequent variation of degree of polymerization P with length of time of irradiation is shown. The results are compared with those obtained by other workers who used lower frequencies, and discussed with reference to the degradation equation of Schmid. An alternative equation which fits the experimental results better is examined.
