Abstract

A study on the degradation of both halogenated and non‐halogenated polymers has been made by x‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy on two different types of common place photoelectron spectrometer. The degradation results herein are compared with the degradation index of Beamson and Briggs, and a notable difference was observed. The effects of neutraliser and spot size on the degradation kinetics are explored and lead to simple recommendations for the successful analysis of damage‐susceptible polymers.
