During the last two decades, the production of polymers and plastics has been increasing rapidly. In spite of developing new polymers and polymeric materials, only 40~60 are used commercially on a large scale. It has been estimated that half of the annual production of polymers is employed outdoors. The photochemical instability of most polymers limits their outdoor application as they are photodegraded quickly over periods from months to a few years. To the despair of technologists and consumers alike, photodegradation and environmental ageing of polymers occur much faster than can be expected from knowledge collected in laboratories. In order to ... Read more

Reviews for Polymer Photodegradation
As a reference work and a wide window to the scientific literature, Rabek's magnum opus should be very useful indeed...I recommend that everyone interested in polymer degradation ensure that he/she has easy access to this book and at least scans through it initially; more detailed reading is sure to follow.
