Notes:
Much has been written on the theoretical mechanisms by which the oxidation of polyolefins is believed to proceed and on the role of stabilizers in impeding this process. Relatively little information is available on the effects of some of the interesting, practical considerations - stress, stabilizer stability and the consequences of crystalline content and texture to name a few - which exert a controlling influence on the behavior of these materials in real-life situations. Data are presented on the aging behavior of low- and high-density polyethylenes at temperatues in the range 50-110°C in the presence of copper and on the utility and limitations of oxygen absorption and differential thermal analysis as tools for accelerated prediction of this behavior.
