Abstract
The gaseous degradation products of low density polyethylene exposed to corona discharges were investigated. Temperature and applied voltage were varied independently in order to determine the effect of each on the chemical processes involved in the degradation. Based upon statistical analysis of the results, temperature was found to have an anomalous effect on the accumulation of organic gas products in that increased temperature resulted in lesser amounts of these gases being found.
