Summary:

This book provides a comprehenisve survey of the degradation and stabilisation processes specific to aromatic polyesters, including thermal, thermo-oxidative, chemical, light and radiation degradation and stabilisation. Current knowledge of all these aspects is discussed and analysed, and some suggestions made as to further studies which might advance the subject. Materials covered include well-known polyesters such as poly(ethylene terephthalate) and poly(butylene terephthalate), through the less well-known poly(alkylene naphthalate)s and liquid crystalline polyesters, to ""new"" substances s
