Summary
The structural changes connected with the beginning of colour development during thermal oxidation of a AES polymer blend have been investigated. The yellowing behaviour of AES has been compared with that of the different components of the blend, and the influence of oxygen partial pressure on the polymer degradation has been determined. Colour changes have been shown to be correlated with the early stages of oxidation, and at the same time the different stabilities of the blend components were verified.
