Depolymerization

Depolymerization

Depolymerization (or depolymerisation) is the process of converting a polymer into a monomer or a mixture of monomers.[1]

Thioglycolysis, thiolysis and phloroglucinolysis are reactions used to study condensed tannins by means of their depolymerisation. Thioglycolysis is also used to study lignin.
