Determining the Extent of Oxidation of HDPE Geomembranes by Carbonyl Index (CI)
CI will be measured to determine the extent and rate of oxidation. The use of an attenuated total reflection (ATR) crystal in a Fourier transform
infrared spectrometer (FTIR) will enable the CI of a surface layer of the geomembrane to be quantified.   There is a critical CI (threshold) at which Stress Cracking (SC) is initiated on the Geomembrane surface
