Oxidative degradation of nylon-6 and nylon-6,6 with nitrogen dioxide in Supercritical carbon dioxide
Nylon-6 and nylon-6,6 were subjected to oxidative degradation with NO2 in supercritical CO2. It was found that valuable short-chain alpha,omega-diacid mixture could be obtained in good yield under relatively mild conditions.
