Abstract
The photooxidation of polymers is of considerable practical significance since the rate of this process controls the useful service life of most polymers in outdoor applications. Low-density polyethylene in the form of film remains essentially unchanged for many years when stored at ambient temperatures indoors in the absence of direct sunlight. Out-of-doors, by contrast, even when stabilized with the most effective commercial UV stabilizers at presentKeywords
