Effect of multiple extrusion on molecular structure of polypropylene impact copolymer
2009
Neat and multiple processed polypropylene impact-copolymer (ICPP) were fractionated using series of hydrocarbon solvents with increasing solvent power. The analyses of the fractions obtained in successive extractions showed significant decrease in weight-average molecular weight (Mw) and narrowing the molecular weight distribution (MWD) of investigated samples after extrusions. Although the changes due to thermooxidation were observed in all phases of the system, the most intensive degradation was found in the prevailing PP homopolymer phase.
