1. The Effects of Thermal Aging and Ultraviolet Radiation Aging on the Performance of Greenhouse Plastic Films with Different Thicknesses

Due to Taiwan’s hot and humid climate, it is necessary to consider the haze, tensile strength, and aging resistance of greenhouse plastic films of different thicknesses to evaluate whether replacement is required. This study focuses on commonly used commercial plastic films in Taiwan’s agricultural facilities, mainly composed of linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), with thicknesses of 0.15 mm, 0.18 mm, and 0.20 mm. These greenhouse films were subjected to artificial accelerated... L. Chen-chang
