Abstract
Further evidence is presented to show that the chromophore of polyacrylonitrile is formed by polymerization of the nitrile groups, rather than by dehydrogenation of the polymer backbone. The polyimine structure formed is resistant to hydrolysis; hence, the nitrogen content of hydrolyzed polymer increases with increased chromophore formation.Keywords
