“…This actually means that the activation energy depends on the degree of coloring (conversion degree). A similar phenomenon of the activation energy dependence on the conversion degree, in particular, is well known for the thermal decomposition processes studied by thermogravimetric analysis [33,34,35]. Based on the natural assumption that for photodegradation of the composite as well as the photo and thermal degradation of polymeric materials considered as examples in [32], the Arrhenius law is satisfied, and the activation energy E α at the conversion degree (degree of coloring), α, can be estimated by Equation (3): E α = R[(T 1 T 2 )/(T 2 − T 1 )]lnk α , where T 2 and T 1 are the temperatures at which photodegradation occurs; k α = t 2 /t 1 is the acceleration factor; t 2 and t 1 are the times at which a certain degree of conversion, α (a certain value of the color difference ΔE), is reached at temperatures T 2 and T 1 ; and R is the gas constant.…”
