Degradation of polymers in UV light with photocatalyst ZnO

Post by deleted-779064 »

As the title, I wanna ask you guys about the degradation of polymers in UV light. I knew it possible but I want to speed it up. So my idea is to adding something call catalysis which is ZnO. It has another name call "photocatalysis". I don't know if this is work but at first I'd like to ask you guys "Could is it possible?".
P/s: Sorry for my bad English :3

Hi Tongkhangte,

Are you working on a hands-on science project about polymer degradation? If so please post some details about your project such as your hypothesis and experimental plan. If not, there are other sites devoted to homework help or general science discussions where your question would be more appropriate.

I hope this helps. Please post again if you have more questions.
