Effect of alternative agents on controlled degradation of polypropylene
Kadlecová, Zuzana ; Figalla, Silvestr (referee) ; Bílek, Vlastimil (advisor)
This bachelor’s thesis focuses on the effect of degradation agents in controlled rheology polypropylene and its efficiency. That was evaluated on several types of polypropylene with different molecular weight, the strength of stabilization and content of degradation reagents (organic peroxide and nitroxide Irgatec® CR 76). Melt flow rate, rheometry, and molecular weight distribution methods were applied. Results of each method for unstabilized, stabilized polypropylene and polypropylene containing degradation agent were compared. It was determined, that higher polymer chain degradation efficiency is provided by organic peroxide, lower by nitroxide. The molecular weight distribution of polypropylene was much narrower with peroxide than with nitroxide even though it should have been conversely according to published data. The molecular weight distribution of polypropylene (Mw/Mn) was much narrower with nitroxide than with peroxide at all process temperatures.
