ACCELERATED AGING OF METHYL METHACRYLATE COPOLYMERS AND HOMOPOLYMERS

THE STUDY INDICATES THAT THE WEATHER-OMETER CAN BE USED TO PREDICT THE TYPE, BUT NOT NECESSARILY THE DEGREE, OF VISUAL OR MECHANICAL CHANGES THAT TAKE PLACE DURING OUTDOOR EXPOSURE OF SEVERAL FORMULATIONS OF THE POLYMETHYL METHACRYLATE AND THE METHYL METHACRYLATE/ALPHA- METHYLSTYRENE COPOLYMER SYSTEMS. THE WEATHER-OMETER WAS LESS EFFECTIVE IN PREDICTING ACCURATELY THE RATES OF CHANGE DURING OUTDOOR AGING.
