Handbook of UV Degradation and Stabilization, Fourth Edition is an extensively revised reference that explores the complex effects of ultraviolet radiation on polymeric materials. Drawing from the latest research, patents, and scientific literature, this edition provides detailed insights into the mechanisms by which UV light interacts with polymers. It also examines how living organisms--plants, animals, and humans--naturally defend against UV exposure, offering valuable perspectives for developing protective strategies for both natural and synthetic polymers.

Produktbeschreibung
Handbook of UV Degradation and Stabilization, Fourth Edition is an extensively revised reference that explores the complex effects of ultraviolet radiation on polymeric materials. Drawing from the latest research, patents, and scientific literature, this edition provides detailed insights into the mechanisms by which UV light interacts with polymers. It also examines how living organisms--plants, animals, and humans--naturally defend against UV exposure, offering valuable perspectives for developing protective strategies for both natural and synthetic polymers. The book's comprehensive approach makes it an essential resource for professionals and researchers working in materials science and polymer chemistry. In addition to its broad review of UV-related phenomena, the handbook delves into specialized topics such as photophysics, the behavior of specific polymers and rubbers, and the analytical methods used in UV stabilization. It addresses critical issues in health and safety associated with UV exposure and provides practical guidance for real-world applications. Serving as an excellent companion to the Databook of UV Stabilizers, this handbook complements its counterpart by focusing on theory, mechanisms of action, and practical implications.
