Hydroperoxides undergo various types of homolytic reactions on exposure to u.v. radiation. Free radicals formed from the photodecomposition of the hydroperoxide group (OOH) are oxy (HO.) and peroxy (HOO.) radicals which participate in further reactions. In cis-l,4-polybutadiene, they may initiate fr

The initiation of polystyrene photo-oxidation has been studied and the quantum yield of initiation (~PR') for u.v.-irradiation at 315 K in the presence of atmospheric oxygen has been found to be 10 -3. Using ESR spectra, five distinct free radicals have been found; their nature depends on the wave l
Decrease of the intensity of excimer fluorescence during the photo-oxidation of polystyrene indicates that energy transfer occurs from excited phenyl chromophores to oxidation products. Among these, hydroperoxide groups are prominent because, after acting as energy acceptors, they decompose efficien
Aromatic ketones have been used to initiate the photo-oxidation of polystyrene at wavelengths > 300 nm. Quantum yields of oxygen absorption have been measured. The results indicate that only ketones with a lowest 3(n it\*) state are efficient and that hydrogen abstraction is the initial step of the
