Abstract

The photo- and thermooxidative degradation of different grades of high-impact polystyrene (HIPS) has been studied by FT-IR spectroscopy. The oxidized films were treated with NH3 and SF4 for the rapid identification and resolution of the various carbonyl species, alcohols, and hydroperoxides. All the sample gave similar oxidation products, but in varying quantities. The heterogenity in the film was also determined by micro-FT-IR spectroscopy. The thermal degradation processes at different temperature were compared.
