How does UV radiation affect polymer decomposition?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the chemical reaction between ethylene and benzaldehyde under high pressure and temperature, which results in the production of polyethylene, a type of polymer. One participant emphasizes the importance of conducting preliminary research before posting questions, suggesting that the answer can be easily found online. The conversation shifts to the effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation on polymers, with a clarification that UV radiation generally leads to the decomposition of polymers like polyethylene. The participants engage in a back-and-forth about the understanding of these concepts, with one expressing a need to revisit the topic of UV radiation's impact on polymers.

Hi gay

I have an important question

What is produced from ethylene add to benzaldehyde under high pressure and temperature? Is this polymer

thanks alot

Hi there,
I don't see how you cannot find your answer
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=benzaldehyde+%2B+ethene , first link
it's called polyethene and yes it is a polymer.

next time try a to search a little before you start a new thread.
 
Dear peetpb


I am all ready read a lot about polyethene on google and another pages

so did polyethene is resonance for natural ultravailot ?

thanks a lot
 
I was just answering your question. If you have read that much about PE you would find your answer.

I'm not sure that I fully understand your next question. Are you asking about some connection between ultraviolet radiation and PE ? generally UV radiation decomposes polymers
 
HI Peetpb

thanks for your replay , I well read agin about (UV radiation decomposes polymers) .


thanks a lot
 
I want to test a humidity sensor with one or more saturated salt solutions. The table salt that I have on hand contains one of two anticaking agents, calcium silicate or sodium aluminosilicate. Will the presence of either of these additives (or iodine for that matter) significantly affect the equilibrium humidity? I searched and all the how-to-do-it guides did not address this question. One research paper I found reported that at 1.5% w/w calcium silicate increased the deliquescent point by...
