Abstract
To optimize and extend the service life of polymeric materials in outdoor environments, a domain knowledge-based and data-driven approach was utilized to quantitatively investigate the temporal evolution of degradation modes, mechanisms, and rates under various stepwise accelerated exposure conditions. Six formulations of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) with different combinations of stabilizing additives, including one unstabilized formulation, were exposed in three accelerated weathering conditions. Degradation was dependent on wavelength as samples in UV light at 340 nm (UVA) exposure showed the most yellowing. The unstabilized PMMA formulation showed much higher yellowness index values (59.5) than stabilized PMMA formulations (2–12). Urbach edge analysis shows a shift toward longer wavelength from 285 to 500 nm with increasing exposure time and an increased absorbance around 400 nm of visible region as the unstabilized samples increase in yellowing. The degradation mechanisms of PMMA were tracked using induced absorbance to dose at specific wavelengths that correspond to known degradation mechanisms. The degradation pathway of PMMA was modeled in a <Stressor | Mechanism | Response> framework using network structural equation modeling (netSEM). netSEM showed changes in degradation pathway as PMMA transition stages of degradation.
