Linear C 36 ‐alkane, as a model compound for polyolefins, was exposed to vacuum‐ultraviolet radiation for different periods of time. The formation of degradation products with varying molecular weights and with double bonds was studied by matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry. For a better quantification of the results, the ionization probabilities of a compound containing six double bonds (squalene) was compared with the saturated homologous (squalane). © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
