Degradation profile of polyethylene after artificial accelerated weathering
TL;DR: In this article, the chemical changes that take place during the aging of polyethylene sheared electrical cables, and the correlation of these changes with physical properties need experiments with accelerated aging assays.
Journal ArticleDOI
Internal Reflection Spectroscopy
TL;DR: The history of internal reflection spectroscopy (IRSIRS) as mentioned in this paper began nearly two centuries ago with the observation by Newton [l] of an evanescent field in a lower index of refraction medium in contact with a higher one in which a propagating wave of radiation undergoes total internal reflection (TIR).

Modification of wood wettability by plasma and corona treatments
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors applied plasma and corona treatment to wood in two ways: • The first way consists in improving the wettability of wood surface to increase the coating adhesion especially after a thermal treatment.

Surface characterization of photodegraded poly(ethylene terephthalate). The effect of ultraviolet absorbers
TL;DR: In this article, the surface characterization of photodegraded poly(ethylene terephthalate) was investigated and the results indicated that the unstabilized films are very susceptible to the degradation effects causing a large deterioration, especially in surface layers.

Internal Reflection Spectroscopy

TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that if the surface is flat and smooth, the nature of the reflection is called specular, i.e., mirror-like, and obeys the simple law that the angle of incidence equals the angles of reflection.
