16. 16 Problems of prediction of polymer materials durability Degradation processes take place at various structural levels with manifestation of various relationships of cause and effect Nowadays there is no general theory of polymer aging and destruction Traditional kinetic approach fails in description of the complicated aging phenomena including both chemical and physical ways of degradation

17. 17 Problems of prediction … The situation is even more aggravated with multi- dimensionality and multi-criteriality Under such circumstances we are forced to apply the soft models for prediction of polymer materials durability !

18. 18 Choice and substantiation of aging parameters (data for construction of mathematical model) Developing the practical methods for durability prediction it is necessary to choose such characteristics that clearly represent the relationships between the structural changes and material quality Certainly, it would be nice to get these characteristics without complex methods of structural analysis Basically, it is impossible to single out a parameter that unequivocally represents both physical and chemical processes in polymeric materials at their aging
