Ageing and stabilisation of polymers

Abstract: A method is described for the preparation of wire samples for transmission electron microscopy. The specimen preparation involves three consecutive steps, i.e. pregrinding. electrolytic niicrojet machining and final bath polishing. By this method electron transparent areas of wires less than 1 mm in diameter can be prepared in less than one hour. Further advantages of this method are that the area of examination can be !ocated kery accurately, specimen deformation due to handling is avoided, and very brittle m… Show more

“…loss in time imparted hydrophilic properties of the surfaces. In literature, the term "ageing of polymers" is used to refer to the processes of slow degradation of bulk and surface properties of polymers under the influence of external factors such as sunlight, outdoor temperature, humidity, oxygen and ozone, mechanical stress and others [7][8][9]. Ageing of a thin modified layer of the NTP-treated surface is much faster in comparison with the bulk ageing of the polymer.…”
