摘要：
The effects of natural ageing in the north Algeria of tri-layer films lay down hot greenhouse made of low-density polyethylene are presented in this work. Ageing was monitored by observing the changes of physical, mechanical and structural effects on the various greenhouse faces. It has been shown that the structural change occur on the outside face of the films, while the inside faces are protected by the dye. The study shows that the measured parameters are directly related to the criteria of evaluation of the greenhouse effectiveness. The lifetime of these films under natural conditions in north Algerian was estimated to be 10 months. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
