In this book on physical characteristics and practical aspects of polymer photodegradation Rabek emphasizes the experimental work on the subject. The most important feature of the book is the physical interpretation of polymer degradation, e.g. mechanism of UV/light absorption, formation of excited states, energy transfer mechanism, kinetics, dependence on physical properties of macromolecules and polymer matrices, formation of mechanical defects, practics during environmental ageing. He includes also some aspects of polymer photodegradation in environmental and space condition.

The greatest benefit of this book is that it covers for the first time the latest development relating polymer degradation with physical processes. Experiments are collected and the practical aspects are shown. This book is of interest to all engineers and scientists in industry and universities working in polymer and materials science or in physics in the field of photodegradation.

Contents: Absorption of Radiation.- Electronically Excited States in Polymers.- Electronic Energy Transfer Processes in Polymers.- Photo-Oxidative Degradation.- Physical Factors which Influence Photodegradation.- Kinetic Treatments of Degradation.- Photodegradation of Solid Polymers.- Photodecomposition of Polymers by Laser Radiation.- Practical Aspects of Polymer Photodegradation.
