Molecular modification of slightly cross-linked HDPE: comparison of electron beam irradiation and peroxide treatments

Abstract: The aim of this study is to investigate the changes in molecular structure of high density polyethylene after slightly cross-linking with either electron beam irradiation or chemically with the peroxide method, by examining both the gel and sol parts of the polymer. Melt flow index and dynamic mechanical thermal analysis tests verify the crosslinking process after each treatment method. Differential scanning calorimetry and Fourier transformed infrared tests, together with rheology and viscometry tests, show t… Show more

“…The MFI has a reciprocal relationship with weight average molecular mass or melt viscosity of materials. Clearly, by increasing the flexibility of macromer chains, the MFI value increases [37, 38]. As can be seen in Figure 3, limited exchange reactions between PLA and PC and the formation of block PLA–PC copolymer with long PC segments including hard segments cause to slight decrease in the MFI of the PP sample.…”
