We have previously presented a quantitative model that combines diffus
ion and kinetic expressions with chemical/mechanical property relation
ships to predict the time development of diffusion-limited oxidation p
rofiles in polymers. This model was shown to be applicable to thermal
aging environments and should be generally applicable to environmental
stresses for which total damage to the material is directly proportio
n to total exposure time. In this work, we use a fluorocarbon elastome
r to demonstrate applicability-of the model to ionizing-radiation envi
ronments. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
