E. Baimuratov et al., THE INFLUENCE OF REACTIVE DYES ON THERMO-RADIATION, GAMMA-RADIATION AND PHOTOOXIDATIVE DEGRADATION OF STRESSED POLYVINYL-ALCOHOL, International journal of polymeric materials, 19(3-4), 1993, pp. 193-199
Using infrared spectroscopy it has been shown that the mechanical load
increases the rate of thermo- and gamma-radiation of polyvinyl alcoho
l (PVA) and photooxidative degradation. The inclusion of reactive dye
in the polymer inhibits these processes.
