    Notes: Studies have been made of the heat and light induced oxidation of ether linked commercial thermoplastics using a variety of analytical methods. Our studies on polyoxymethylene, polyphenylene oxide, and its blends with polystyrene are discussed here. Comparisons of heat and light stability are made with thermoplastics previously reported.Heat aging of polyoxymethylene causes a decrease in elongation and weight as well as volatile product formation and changes in the infrared spectrum indicative of chain scission. Exposure to ultraviolet light accelerates the oxidative reaction. Polyoxymethylene copolymer is more thermally stable but both polymers are rapidly degraded during light aging.Investigation of the heat and light induced oxidation of polyphenylene oxide shows that oxidation, in either case, leads to a crosslinking reaction resulting in embrittlement of the polymer. The process is difficult to retard. However, oxygen uptake results indicate that blends of polyphenylene oxide and polystyrene can be suitably stabilized against thermal oxidation. Preliminary results indicate that oxidation of these blends proceeds by a chain scission mechanism.

    Notes: The hydrolytic stability of glass fiber reinforced poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT), poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) and polycarbonate (PC) was studied. The activation energies in kcal/mole for hydrolysis are 26 for PBT and 23 for PET. Both PBT and PET contain 30 percent glass fiber reinforcement. The hydrolysis rates for a series of experimental PC's containing 10, 30 and 40 percent glass were obtained from GPC data. These increase with glass concentration but are lower than that of the unreinforced PC. Melt flow rate changes are a good measure of the hydrolytic degradation of PET. However, in the time scale of these experiments, the tensile properties of glass reinforced PBT and PC do not correlate well with M̄w changes, unlike unreinforced PBT and PC polymers. Consequently, to compare these three glass fiber reinforced polymers, estimates of failure time must be based on changes in tensile strength rather than melt flow rate.

    Hydrolysis of poly(butylene terephthalate) (1982)

    Notes: The hydrolytic stability of poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT) resins and compounds was studied. Rates of reaction were determined by measuring changes in melt flow rate. Hydrolysis was slightly accelerated by contact of PBT with glass containers and reduced by incorporation of some flame retardant additives. Melt flow rates were related to tensile elongation ofunfilled PBT and tensile strength ofthe glass fiber reinforced polymer and used as failure criteria. Reaction rates were used to predict failure times at various conditions.

    The effects of light and heat on the rubber content and impact strength of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (1980)
    Stamford, Conn. [u.a.] : Wiley-Blackwell

    Notes: DSC analysis of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) samples either weathered outdoors for up to 10 years or aged at 71°C has shown that these plastics deteriorate most readily through the polybutadiene (BD) component. Oxidation of the BD in ABS leads to an increasing and broadening Tgas well as a decrease in ΔCp at Tg. The latter quantity can be used to quantitatively assay the amount of unoxidized rubber in a photo- or thermal-oxidized sample. The loss of impact strength of these resins with chemical aging can be correlated with the oxidation of the polybutadiene phase. Studies of rubber content as a function of sample thickness have revealed that an embrittled layer containing oxidized BD develops at the surface of an aged, 100 mil. ABS plaque (natural) and grows to a thickness of about 10 mils after 3 years exposure to sunlight. ABS containing carbon black is effectively screened from this photo induced degradation and consequently has much better retention of its initial impact strength values. In addition, carbon black was observed to retard thermal oxidation in some ABS samples. Lastly, it appears possible to do accelerated aging studies at elevated temperatures to evaluate the relative stabilities of various ABS formulations.

    The hydrolytic stability of some commercially available polycarbonates (1982)
    Stamford, Conn. [u.a.] : Wiley-Blackwell

    Notes: A number of commercially available polycarbonates, including formulations made flame retardant by two different modifications, have been exposed to conditions producing moderately rapid hydrolysis. Hydrolysis rates were calculated from molecular weight data determined by gel permeation chromatography and, in some cases, from melt flow rate data. The rates calculated by the two methods are in good agreement. In general, the standard formulations containing minimal additive packages are the most hydrolytically stable. Although one relatively new flame retardant polycarbonate demonstrates generally good resistance to hydrolysis, most of the flame retardant formulations appear to be quite susceptible to hydrolytic degradation. For these materials, hydrolysis under conditions encountered in use could cause significant decreases in impact strength within a few years.
