Accelerated climate ageing of building materials, components and structures in the laboratory (2012, methodology): “The actual composition of the photodegradation products depends on the cellulose type, where the following reaction mechanism for the primary processes during photodegradation of cellulose has been proposed (Rånby and Rabek 1975) (refer also to Rabek 1995): O O O CH OH2 O CH OH2 O h O CH OH2 O O CH ”
Degradation of Cellulose Acetate-Based Materials: A Review (2011, unknown): “tion which is understood as radical chain reaction after electron transfer for which the semi-conductor model is usually used [61, 62].”
Degradability of linear polyolefins under natural weathering (2011, background): “As a consequence, alkanes, alkenes, ketones, aldehydes, alcohols, carboxylic acids, keto-acids, linear esters and lactones are formed [13], decreasing the polymer hydrophobicity and molar mass, thus increasing the bioavailability and biodegradability of the polymer [3].”
