Measurements of thermal deformation for COAc series with different degree of substitution (DS) revealed that the asending deformation for all samples went off at about 170℃. Heat treatment above this temperature caused remarkable change in thermal properties of COAc. A large weight loss of COAc was also observed in the region above this temperature From these results, the side chain of COAc was concluded to decompose above 170℃
