Abstract
  • Isotactic polypropylene (iPP) gives very extensive degradation when treated with peroxides above its melting temperature in mechanical mixers or extruders. This undesired reaction is very modestly affected by maleate molecules which on the contrary actively compete with side reactions of macroradicals in the case of ethylene polymers. In this work iPP was treated in a Brabender mixer at 180 °C with peroxide and different selected molecules capable of promptly reacting with the macroradical formed on iPP chain and converting it into a more stable free radical. Furan derivatives, successfully used for iPP cross-linking without any remarkable increase of MFR, were used as free radical removers and maleic anhydride as functionalizing monomer. The results indicate a detectable improvement with respect to the use of maleic monomers and peroxide only, allowing to us get a significant grafting of functional groups and only partial degradation. Moreover, furan derivatives bearing various reactive substituents were used as functionalizing molecules. The results are discussed in the frame of the general mechanism proposed for the free radical functionalization of polyolefin in the melt. (literal)
