Long-term degradation and aging experiments with
polyolefins, styrene polymers and their blends,
estimation of residual oxidation stability of aged
samples and lifetime predictions, as well as efficiency
evaluation of various stabilizer systems.
Correlation of the extent of oxidative deterioration with
changes in processability in connection with successful
recycling of polymers; contribution of restabilization.
Exploitation of thermoanalytical methods (DSC, TGA) for
characterization of homopolymers, polymer blends,
composites and block copolymers.
