Other Factors Affecting Photochemical Degradation Rates of Polymers 

The early studies of stress effects on photodegradation rates were often contradictory in the sense that tensile stress sometimes seemed to cause a rate acceleration and other times a rate decrease. It was speculated that this inconsistency might be attributable to changes in reaction parameters other than stress that were not recognized
