Abstract
The protection against damage caused by ultraviolet light and 2‐Mev electrons afforded polymethylmethacrylate by small amounts of such additives as pyrene, p‐terphenyl, xylene, benzene, and lead stearate is examined. The results are discussed in terms of a model involving energy transport by both excited and ionized states.Keywords
