This project will investigate lateral variation in the                     polymer autoxidation reaction mechanism.  The first step is a                   chemiluminescence (very low intensity light emission) imaging                   survey of several polymers in the steady state, autocatalytic                   and oxygen limited stages of autoxidation.  Other laterally                     resolved analytical techniques will be used to relate polymer                   attributes to the mechanistic heterogeneity.  Brief ultraviolet                 irradiation will be used to stimulate polymer                                   chemiluminescence.  Lateral variations in relaxation of the                     stimulated chemiluminescence to steady state intensity will be                  examined.  The capability for laterally resolved measurement of                 the glass-to-gel transition temperature will be developed.  The                 analytical methods used will be related to polymer aging and                    used to develop polymer failure prediction models.                                   A potential new instrument resulting from the research                     would provide non-destructive field testing to predict useful                   service life of polymeric materials.
