Polymer ageing: physics, chemistry or engineering? Time to reflect
Open accessAbstract
Polymer ageing may involve physical ageing without chemical reaction occurring; chemical changes such as crosslinking during curing of a thermoset; thermal conditioning at elevated temperature; photochemical ageing , as occurs in weathering. This review concentrates on examples involving a combination of two or more of these effects, and with the consequential changes in engineering properties. Events on the molecular level lead to change in the morphology and macroscopic physical properties. For example, in a semi-crystalline polymer, chain scission caused by photo-oxidation, may lead to secondary crystallisation (‘chemi-crystallisation’), increasing density, and causing an increase in Young’s modulus and reducing ductility. Similar effects may be observed in glassy polymers, due to chain scission accelerating physical ageing. Such effects are particularly common when rapid cooling during moulding has left the polymer in a state far from equilibrium. A common symptom is a change in the residual stress distribution in polymer mouldings and this is discussed. .

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
