The kinetics of photodegradation has also been studied. Surface damage caused by polychromatic (&gt;= 290 nm) at 55 degrees C in air is presented in different micrographs. The rate of photodegradation is very fast in terpolymers containing polar monomers as compared with copolymers and polyethylene. Morphological study of these photodegraded samples showed a very good relation with photodegradation results.</p>10afunctional polyolefins10aPhotodegradation10aUV irradiation1 aFernandes, Susete, N.1 aCorreia, Sandra1 aPrasad, A., V.1 aReddy, K., R.1 aRana, S.1 aLonkar, Sunil, P.1 aMarques, Maria, M.1 aSingh, R., P.  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/photodegradation-ethylenepropylenepolar-monomers-co-and-terpolymers-i-prepared-group-4-001649nas a2200205   4500008004100000022001400041245014100055210006900196260006800265300001000333490000700343520086500350100001801215700001801233700001301251700002201264700001701286700001801303856012201321       2005                        eng d  a1083-560100aSynthesis, characterization, and performance evaluation of novel stabilized TDI-based polyurethane coatings under accelerated weathering0 aSynthesis characterization and performance evaluation of novel s  a111 RIVER ST, HOBOKEN, NJ 07030 USAbJOHN WILEY & SONS INCcMAR  a13-200 v113 a<p>Some toluene dilsocyanate (TDI)-based polyurethane resins (PURs) for coating applications were synthesized with castor oil and their performance was estimated under accelerated UV weathering with and without a novel UV absorber. Changes in physical properties, chemical structure, and color of the samples were monitored by mechanical property testing, FTIR spectroscopy, and colorimetry, respectively. A stable polyurethane coating was achieved at 0.5% concentration of additive in the host matrix. Mechanical properties were also retained as in the pristine PUR after mixing. Commercial Tinuvin P and benzotriazole-based novel UV absorbers were found to improve the photoresistance of the PUR coating, and the highest efficiency of the novel UV absorber against weathering was estimated at 0.5 wt% concentration.(c) 2005 Society of Plastics Engineers.</p>1 aKumar, A., P.1 aReddy, K., R.1 aRana, S.1 aLonkar, Sunil, P.1 aRaut, K., G.1 aSingh, R., P.  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/synthesis-characterization-and-performance-evaluation-novel-stabilized-tdi-based-0
