Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Waterborne polyurethane (WPU) materials are vulnerable to be destroyed under long-term sunlight exposure, reducing their service life. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the photodegradation behavior and blocking strategy of WPU. In general, UV and Xenon light sources are often used to accelerate photodegradation process to shorten the experimental time. In this work, the blocked and un-blocked WPU were synthesized and the difference in photodegradation behavior under UV and Xenon irradiation was preliminarily investigated. The results showed that the urethane bonds of WPU were cleaved and ether linkages were oxidized and degraded, generating some primary degradation products after UV and Xenon irradiation, the primary degradation products can continue to decompose or re-construct after UV exposure, inducing deeper yellowing and more cracks or holes on the surface of the film. Fortunately, this photodegradation behavior can be blocked by addition of composite additives according to the photodegradation mechanism. The morphology, structure and properties of the blocked WPU changed slightly after UV irradiation and kept almost unchanged after Xenon exposure. In comparison with control sample, the tensile strength retention ratio increased from 9.3% to 77.5% for UV exposure 72 h and from 12.4% to 88.4% for Xenon irradiation 72 h, which confirmed that the proposed blocking strategy was successful and effective.
