Spatial effects in the degradation of poly (acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene)(ABS) exposed to
UVB radiation (λ= 290–330 nm) and oxygen in a weathering chamber at 318K were studied …

The effects of thermal oxidation on the molecular and macromolecular structures of additive
free PE were investigated between 100° C and 140° C in air in order to tentatively establish …

The photo-oxidative degradation of poly [styrene-b-ethylene-co-butylene-b-styrene], SEBS,
has been studied at wavelengths cut-off below 290nm, and monochromatic light of 254nm …

The effects of UV irradiation on polyetheretherketone (PEEK) fibres were investigated in this
study. PEEK fibres were manufactured with a melt spinning system and then artificially aged …

For the purpose of increasing degradability of polystyrene (PS) and poly (vinyl
chloride)(PVC), they were modified by means of introducing 1–5% addition of ketone …

Indoor accelerated and outdoor weathering of polystyrene-b-(ethylene-co-butylene)-b-
styrene (SEBS) was studied by infrared spectroscopy. Accelerated conditions involved …

The effect of ultraviolet radiation on styrene-ethylene-butadiene-styrene (SEBS) has been
studied at different exposures times in order to obtain a better understanding of the …

A comparative study was conducted into the thermooxidative degradation of polystyrene
(PS) and polystyrene modified with different percentages (5, 10 and 15) of–CH2 (CO) …

The present study employs X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) to analyze plastic
samples subjected to degradation processes with the aim to gain insight on the relevant …

An experimental study showed the enhancement effect of di-tert-butyl peroxide on poly (α-
methylstyrene)(PAMS) thermal degradation in trichlorobenzene solution (12.5 g/L). Peroxide …
