摘要：
The degradation of high molecular weight isotactic polypropylene (iPP) subjected to gamma rays irradiation up to 100 kGy in inert atmosphere was analyzed. The investigation relied upon complex viscosity, elastic modulus, gel fraction, morphology of the insoluble fraction and deconvoluted molecular weight distribution (MWD) curves. At low irradiation doses, already at 5 kGy, the MWD curve is strongly shifted to the low molecular weight side showing chain scission, which is confirmed using the calculated chain scission distribution function (CSDF). At high dose levels, the appearance of a shoulder in the high molecular weight side of the MWD curve indicates the formation of chain branching. The presence of a considerable insoluble fraction at these high dose levels indicates also the formation of cross-linking, which has different morphology then the insoluble fraction present in the original iPP. The theological results show changes in the molecular structure of irradiated samples in agreement with the gel content data. The chromatographic and theological data has shown that gamma irradiation of iPP produces chain scission, branching and cross-linking. (C) 2009 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
