The acid‐catalyzed chemical degradation of polyesters is discussed, with emphasis on the chemistry of the reactions involved. Using primary amines as degrading agents in presence of water as the acid‐ionizing medium, mechanisms consistent with the chemistry of the reaction and those of realted esters are proposed.
