The Photooxidative Degradation of Polypropylene. Part I. Photooxidation and Photoinitiation Processes
Abstract
All unstabilized organic polymers are degraded upon exposure to terrestrial sunlight in the presence of oxygen. However, the rates of photooxidative deterioration vary enormously with polymer structure, and range from a few months outdoor lifetime for polypropylene (PPH) and poly(l,3-phenylene isophthalamide) up to several years for poly(ethylene terephthalate), poly(methyl methylacrylate), and poly-(tetrafluoroethylene). Despite its high photosensitivity, PPH is now widely exploited in the form of films, fibers, and moldings. Current PPH capacity in the United States is rated at ∼1.2 × 106 metric tons, of which −30% is used as thin films and fibers [1].

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.
