The surface photooxidation of Styrene/2-(2-Hydroxy-3-Vinyl-5-Methylphenyl)-Benzotriazole copolymers (λ > 300 nm) has been monitored by ESCA. The rate of oxygen uptake is shown to be dependent on the concentration of HVB in the surface. At concentrations < 1% the rate appears to be very similar to that of unstabilised polystyrene and polystyrene stabilised with hydroxy-methylphenyl-benzotriazole as a 0·5% additive. The data indicate that HVB is not capable of photostabilising the surface. Transmission ir data suggest that the bulk material is photostabilised.

Abstract

The surface photooxidation of Styrene/2-(2-Hydroxy-3-Vinyl-5-Methylphenyl)-Benzotriazole copolymers (λ > 300 nm) has been monitored by ESCA. The rate of oxygen uptake is shown to be dependent on the concentration of HVB in the surface. At concentrations < 1% the rate appears to be very similar to that of unstabilised polystyrene and polystyrene stabilised with hydroxy-methylphenyl-benzotriazole as a 0·5% additive. The data indicate that HVB is not capable of photostabilising the surface. Transmission ir data suggest that the bulk material is photostabilised.
