Abstract
Chemical mechanisms of tracking and erosion are reviewed by considering mechanisms of conduction and molecular structure of polymers. It is shown that track formation need not necessarily be by graphite formation and that degradation mechanisms cannot always be predicted by inspection of molecular steriochemistry.
