Abstract The effects of the free radical inhibitor 1.4‐diaminoanthraquinone on the evolution of carbon dioxide and methanol during the pyrolysis of poly(methyl acrylate) have been studied. The experiments lead to the conclusion that these volatiles are formed in competing side processes of the free radical chain reaction which causes back bone fragmentation. In the light of IR and UV spectroscopic measurentents possible reaction routes are considered.
