Abstract
The arguments in the paper by Gugumus [Critical stabilizer concentrati ons in oxidizing polymer, Polym. Degrad. Stab., 1994, 46, 123], where the inability of the author to find critical antioxidant concentration s is used as evidence of the absence of the phenomenon, are discussed. It is shown that critical phenomena play no part in the conditions of these experiments. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Limited.
