Abstract
Reactive gases as NO, SF4, NH3, SO2 CH2N2... or the vapor of volatil liquids as CH3COX, CH3OH, CH3SCH3... have been extensively used for the identification and the titration of oxidized groups appearing during the ageing of polymers1–12. These reactions can be performed in the solid state (films) and at room temperature. Moreover, their implement is generally quite easy, it just consists to put gases in close contact with the polymer film for few hours. The exposure duration can be adjusted to control the progress of the reaction through the film thickness. Surface as well as “mass” modifications can be performed according the seeked application (membranes, painting, printing coatings...).
