Abstract :
This paper describes the change in polymer materials in a multi aging test. In order to examine the factors that are related with deterioration, three types of aging test (UV, salt fog, UV+salt fog) were conducted. After the aging tests, each sample used was analyzed by ESCA (Electron Spectroscopy for Chemical Analysis) and FT-IR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy). Consequently, it was found that the changes in the polymer material were remarkable in the salt fog and UV+salt fog test. On the other hand, the changes in the polymer material were less in the UV only aging test
