The type of interactions that take place between a polymer and its degradation products and also the changes that occur on addition of a second polymer in the same environment as in the case of polymer blends or graft copolymers, has been examined in the present study. Some pair of polymers shows no evidence of interaction during the degradation of a blend whereas in some cases it has been found that the presence of degradation product from one polymer can highly influence the degradation behavior of the other polymer.

Abstract


The type of interactions that take place between a polymer and its degradation products and also the changes that occur on addition of a second polymer in the same environment as in the case of polymer blends or graft copolymers, has been examined in the present study. Some pair of polymers shows no evidence of interaction during the degradation of a blend whereas in some cases it has been found that the presence of degradation product from one polymer can highly influence the degradation behavior of the other polymer.
