White, Paul H. Cohen, and Paul J. Biermannolyesters are widely used in plastic objects, films, and fabrics. A recurringmechanism of polyester Aging is attack by humidity (hydrolysis), whereby the longchain molecules are cleaved and the material softens. This article offers an approach formodeling the hardness/ Aging behavior of commercial polyesters. The model isqualitatively consistent with exposure tests on fresh polyester plastic material madefrom a commercially available resin and hardening agent. It expresses the rate ofpolyester hydrolysis in terms of the relative humidity, and then connects the degree ofhydrolysis to hardness using a relation that accounts for stabilizers that are present incommercial polymers to counter the hydrolysis.
