Abstract

A sorbitolum compound and an aryl amide compound were applied to prepare α-nucleated PP (α-PP) and β-nucleated PP (β-PP), respectively. Effects of UV irradiation on the molecular structure and tensile properties of pure PP, α-PP and β-PP were investigated. The relationship of tensile strength with carbonyl index was discussed. The change of relative content of β-modification in β-PP during photodegradation was examined by WAXD. The carbonyl index calculated from FTIR spectra arranged as α-PP > PP > β-PP, however, the tensile strength retention at the UV irradiation time of 792h arranged as PP > β-PP > α-PP. The relative content of β-crystal nearly unchanged during the photodegradation.
