- Abstract
- Twenty plastics samples were weathered in Arizona, Florida, and Washington, D.C. for 72 months. The weathering of these samples was followed measuring changes in the specimen's color, tensile, flexure, gloss, and haze properties. Computer-generated graphs of these changes with time are presented. (Author)
