Abstract

Abstract Some investigations of problems of degradation and stabilization of polymers which were carried out at the Institute of Chemical Physics and other research centers in the USSR during the last few years are included in this paper. The report includes the following topics. 1) The effect of intermolecular interaction on the kinetics of degradation processes in polymer mass. 2) The effect of submolecular structure on oxidation. 3) A new method for studying structural and physical peculiarities of polymeric matrices. 4) Problems of polymer stabilization during processing. 5) Interaction of nitrogen dioxide in the solid phase with macromolecules containing C[dbnd]C bonds. 6) Ozone aging of raw rubbers and rubbers. 7) Photodegradation and light stabilization of some polymers. 8) The kinetics and the mechanism of oxidation of polymers under stress. 9) Radiation aging of polymers. 10) Hydrolytic degradation of some heterochain polymers. 11) Interaction of polymers with biomedia. 12) The problems associate...
