G. Teissedre et al., PHOTOAGEING OF POLYOLEFINS .2. PHOTOLYSIS OF LOW-MOLECULAR-WEIGHT KETONES AT LAMBDA-GREATER-THAN-300 NM, Polymer degradation and stability, 51(2), 1996, pp. 143-150
The photolysis of low molecular weight ketones (4-tridecanone, 3- and
5-dodecanone) at wavelengths longer than 300 mn and in hydrocarbon sol
vents has been investigated by FTIR, GC/MS and GC/FTTR. The quantum yi
eld and the rate of decomposition were compared with those of a low mo
lecular weight hydroperoxide (3-hydroperoxyhexane).
