Photodegradation of PVC

  • Chapter
Degradation and Stabilisation of PVC

Abstract

Most commercial polymers undergo chemical and physical modifications when they are exposed for a long time to the combined action of sunlight, atmospheric oxygen, moisture and pollutants. The extent of this degradation depends primarily on the presence within the polymer of light-absorbing structures. Polymers containing aromatic or carbonyl groups in their monomer unit are likely to absorb the terrestrial sunlight (wavelength λ>290nm) and usually become photosensitive materials. On the other hand, some polymers that do not possess in their structural unit any chromophore absorbing above 250 nm, like polyolefins, still appear to be degraded by sunlight during outdoor exposure. Since a basic law in photochemistry states that a photochemical reaction can only occur if light has been absorbed, it implies that those polymers must contain chromophore groups absorbing the solar radiations, either as external impurities or as functional groups incorporated into the polymer backbone.
