Alcoholysis

Mandarin:
醇解 (chún jiě)
Explanation in English Language (EN):
Alcoholysis is a chemical reaction where an alcohol acts as a nucleophile to break a chemical bond, similar to hydrolysis but with an alcohol instead of water. In polymer chemistry, alcoholysis can be used to modify or degrade polymers containing ester linkages. For example, polyesters can be broken down into smaller units by reacting with alcohols.
Explanation in Mandarin (ZH):
醇解是一种化学反应,其中醇充当亲核试剂以破坏化学键,类似于水解,但使用醇代替水。在高分子化学中,醇解可用于改性或降解含有酯键的聚合物。例如,聚酯可以通过与醇反应分解成更小的单元。
