Abstract
Polyethylenes were outdoor and accelerated exposed, and CL measured at different period of times. Chemiluminescence temperature-ramping tests under nitrogen showed the formation of a peroxide peak at lower temperature, and a significant increase in carbonyl index for PE containing stearates was found by FTIR. The results were supported by GC-MS, where the concentration of extracted products identified in the polyethylenes containing Fe-stearate was significant, and a much greater decrease in molecular weight was determined by GPC, which confirmed the development of degradation for polyethylenes with Fe-Stearates in comparison to pure or Ca-stearate polyethylenes.
