About this document

Polymer Degradation Initiation Processes by nanou97 is a document available to read on EtoBox.

(1) Polymer degradation is often initiated by mechanochemical scission of polymer chains, which produces macroalkyl radicals. (2) These macroalkyl radicals can then react with oxygen to form hydroperoxides, which cause subsequent degradation. (3) Alkyl radical traps can effectively remove macroalkyl radicals during polymer processing, delaying mechanooxidation and improving stability.
