Abstract
The effect of a new hydroxyphenyltriazine additive (Tinuvin 1577) on t he surface photooxidation of polystyrene films at various concentratio ns of the additive was studied using ESCA spectroscopy. The accelerate d weathering was run in a Xenotest apparatus to mimic outdoor conditio ns. The presence of Tinuvin 1577 effectively inhibited the surface pho tooxidation of polystyrene.
