Investigating the influence of stress on UV-induced degradation in cellulose acetate: a comprehensive experimental characterization

Abstract:

Renewable and degradable polymers have emerged in everyday applications ranging from mundane eating utensils to high-tech medical devices. However, the current literature lacks a thorough experimental characterization of the mechanical behavior change due to degradation. In this work, we characterize the microscopic chemical changes due to photo-degradation and resulting stress effects on the mechanical behavior of cellulose acetate, a renewable and degradable polymer that is used in various ...
