Explains methods of exposing vulcanized rubbers to an artificial light source to assess changes produced by such exposure. Of the different light sources available, the xenon arc is advantageous in that it can, when correctly filtered and maintained, yield a spectrum most closely approximating to that of daylight. Specifies means of determining radiation dosage.
