bulk of the polymer sample [9]. Random and chain degradation introduced by thermal
and UV light cause thermal degradation of the polymers.
1.2.3 Ozone-Induced Degradation
Normal conditions, degradation of polymers can occur because of atmospheric ozone
as well. This method can be adopted when other oxidative aging processes are relatively slow and the polymer holds its properties for a rather longer time. The presence
of atmospheric ozone hastens the aging of polymeric materials and it is convoyed by
the rigorous formation of oxygen-containing compounds.
