- found: Wikipedia, Mar. 15, 2007(Photodegradation is degradation of a photodegradable molecule caused by the absorption of photons, particularly those wavelengths found in sunlight, such as infrared radiation, visible light and ultraviolet light. However, other forms of electromagnetic radiation can cause photodegradation)
- found: McGraw-Hill concise encyc. of chemistry, 2004(photodegradation reduction in the useful properties of materials because of the chemical changes resulting from the absorption of light. All organic materials can photodegrade, but the process has greatest relevance for polymers where scission of the polymer backbone is particularly important)
