Abstract
A commercial high-sensitivity CCD camera has been applied to image the weak chemiluminescence from the oxidative degradation of polypropylen e. Images of powder and film samples were obtained after various oxida tion times and showed the heterogeneous characteristics of oxidation. The results are consistent with a model for oxidative spreading from z ones with a high local rate of oxidation.
