Description :
Readers can find basic knowledge of polymer degradation, its causes, processes, and consequences in a broader context, as indicated by the list of chapter headings. Depolymerisation; initiation of cleavage (degradation) of macromolecules. thermal degradation; photochemical degradation; mechanochemical degradation; oxidative degradation; polymer sintering; Degradation during polymer recycling. Protection of polymers from degradation. Demotion is the act of making something or someone less respectable. In polymer science, degradation generally refers to the complex process by which polymeric materials lose their original properties when exposed to the environment and workload. Degradation is usually an undesirable process. However, in some cases, controlled polymer degradation is useful. Polymer degradation is a complex process in which polymers lose their original functional properties due to irreversible structural changes.
