Abstract
The effect of ferrocene additive concentrations on the stability of polythylene polymers under atmospheric ageing and ultraviolet irradiation is reported. At concentrations under ca 5 Γ 10^β3^ mol kg^β1^ polymer the ferrocene compound is shown to diminish polymer resistance to light, whereas above this concentration such a compound stabilizes the polymeric matrix. Another purpose of the work is to look into the photoβoxidative destruction of polyethylene doped with ferrocene compound by using an EPR technique. A mechanism of photoβoxidative destruction of polyethylene polymers in the presence of ferrocene compounds is proposed.
