Resumo
Polypropylene (PP) is used for different sectors of the industry and in
consequence produces a large amount of waste discarded at landfills causing serious
environmental impacts. Controlled degradation of PP can be achieved by exposing
the polymers to defined parameters, such as absorbed radiation dose, weather,
oxygen, etc. The aim of this study was to compare two methods of accelerated
degradation: gamma irradiation of PP 20 kGy and the incorporation of the commercial
pro-degradant d2w® (1 wt%) in PP. Dumbbell samples were manufactured
by the injection process and exposed to the environment aging for 90 days. Structural
changes in PP macromolecules are created upon exposure to ionizing radiation
such as main chain scission, crosslinking and peroxidation (in presence of air). Differential
scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TG), scanning
electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray fluorescence,
Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and mechanical tests characterized
the samples. The samples previously irradiated, PP 20 kGy, after natural
aging showed higher oxidation and presence of surface cracks than the PP d2w®.
They also showed presence of carbonyl groups and decrease of melting temperature
corroborating with oxo-degradation.
