Yellowing mechanisms of epoxy and vinyl ester resins under thermal, UV and natural aging conditions and protection methods

Polymer resins have yellowing issue when subjected to elevated temperatures or UV exposure, which limit their applications in color-sensitive fields. This paper presents an experimental study on the yellowing mechanisms of epoxy and vinyl ester resins under thermal, UV and natural aging conditions....
