Research overview

Artificial UV, thermal and pressurised-oxygen exposures are used to track polypropylene oxidation, stabiliser depletion and molecular changes. Highlights risks from uncovered exposure; accelerated ageing is not a direct calendar-life prediction.

Kontain’s reading note. Refer to the original paper for the authors’ full methods, findings and limitations.
