TLDR
In this paper, the principal mechanism is the abstraction of a hydrogen in position γ to the carbonyl group followed by breaking of the main polymer chain (Norrish type II mechanism).

Solid-state photochemistry of π-conjugated poly(3-alkylthiophenes)

TL;DR: In this paper, a poly(3-alkylthiophenes) undergo simultaneous photobleaching, cross-linking, and chain scission when irradiated in air with UV or visible light.

Energy transfer in polymers—III Polyphenylvinylketone—naphthalene system

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the increase of naphthalene phosphorescence as a function of its concentration at 77°K and showed that triplet energy migration in polyphenylvinylketone main chain scissions is inhibited by naphthane when the polymer is irradiated as films or in solution at room temperature with light of 3660 A.

Photolysis of polyvinylbenzophenone

TL;DR: In this article, a triplet state mechanism for photoreduction of polyvinylbenzophenone (PVB) was shown to lead to cyclization when irradiated in dilute solutions and to crosslinking in concentrated solutions and solid films.

Chapter 3 Photodegradation of Polymers

TL;DR: In this paper, the ultraviolet part of the sunlight that reaches the surface of the Earth is called the “solar ultraviolet.” It represents only about 6% of the total radiation of the sun but is the most damaging to polymers.

Fluorescence methods in polymer science

TL;DR: In this paper, the rotational depolarization of fluorescence is applied to the measurement of micro-Brownian motions of polymer chains and the local viscosity of polymer solutions and melts.
