Abstract
The photo-oxidative degradation of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC)/polybutadiene (PB) blends has been studied. After uv irradiation, photo-grafting of the PVC and PB phases was observed. Photolysis of PVC accelerates cis-trans isomerisation of PB. Both phases, PVC and PB, are photo-degraded according to free radical oxidation mechanisms. The rates of these processes can be decreased by the addition of metal chelates, such as commercially produced Cyasorb uv light absorber 1084 (2,2′-thiobis(4- t-octylphenolato)- n-butylamine nickel(II)) and Cyasorb uv light absorber 2548 (cobalt dicyclohexyldithiophosphinate).
