Estimation of the oxygen-limiting amount consumed by polymeric melt in the thermooxidative degradation process
Fractal analysis representations were shown to elucidate quantitative relationships between the parameters of thermooxidative degradation and polymeric melt structure. The process of oxidative consumption during degradation was defined by both the polymer's chemical constitution and the structure of the macromolecular coil. (C) 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
