The content of UV stabilizers in plastics was merged into Photo-oxidation of polymers on 6 July 2017. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists. For the discussion at that location, see its talk page.

The content of UV degradation was merged into Photo-oxidation of polymers on 15 February 2021.

There is a spelling mistake (typo) in the embedded graphic file "Photo_oxidation.PNG" : scisson should be scission. If I work out how to edit this, I shall do so. Meanwhile, someone more familiar with the site may do it, if they wish.

"Photo-oxidation is the degradation of a polymer surface"??
"Photo-oxidation of polymers is the degradation of a polymer surface", yes. But "Photo-oxidation is the degradation of a any surface", no?

UV degradation is focused entirely on polymers. Factors of polymer weathering is largely a description of photo-oxidation. As the weathering of plastics is caused by UV degradation - in the specific form of photo-oxidation - these pages should be merged, probably under this page name as it's the more commonly used in the literature. --Project Osprey (talk) 15:48, 15 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
