摘要: Weathering behavior of two types enhanced-photodegradable polyethylenes was studied using FTIR spectroscopy, tensile property changes, and gel-permeation chromatography to monitor structural changes accompanying photodegradation. Changes in elongation at break carbonyl index during degradation showed a strong correlation with the average molecular weight polymers. At point embrittlement, highest extent measured properties, number-average weights for both polymers were 104 g/mol range. Facile biodegradation is not expected this degree polymerization.
