Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Thepolymer that will be mostadversely affected by air oxidation is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Many polymers undergo significant changes over time when exposed to air, heat, and oxygen.

Unsaturated polymers contain double bonds and thus are easily susceptible to oxygen attack.

Protection of unsaturated polymers provides greater resistance to oxidation and water penetration.
