Handbook of Uv Degradation and Stabilization

A comprehensive reference guide for engineers and scientists designing with plastics, and formulating plastics materials. It explains the effects of UV light on plastics, and how to mitigate its effects through the use of UV stabilizers. It surveys the range of UV stabilizers on the market, and provides advice on their selection and use.
