Abstract: The experimental methods such as artificial accelerated weathering, outdoor exposure, andlandfill in natural soil were conducted to test the aging and degradation properties of PE film containingrarer earth photosensitizer, CaC03,and a biologically activating agent. Characterizations with SEM,
TG-IR,and Ubbclhode viscometer showed that the rare-earth photosensitizer promoted the light-induced oxidative degradation of the PE film. The incinerable and degradable PE film possessed thecnvi ronmcntal-,photo-,and biological-degradability.

Key words: rare earth compound photosensitizer, incineration, degradability, polyethylene film, formula design, oxidative degradation in darkness
