Abstract

An experimental approach to the study of polymer film photodegradation by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, with simultaneous UV irradiation under varying thermal and environmental parameters, has been developed. Reflection spectra from metal-backed polycarbonate films undergoing irradiation in a test chamber illustrate the system's capability. Early degradative events in polycarbonate are revealed by differences in these spectra.
