On the influence of sands on low density polyethylene photodegradation

Ultraviolet radiation (UV) induces large physicochemical changes on low density polyethylene (LDPE). The effect against photodegradation from two sand types (mine and beach) when these are incorporated in the polymer has been determined by mechanical tests, gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and in...

Description
Summary:Ultraviolet radiation (UV) induces large physicochemical changes on low density polyethylene (LDPE). The effect against photodegradation from two sand types (mine and beach) when these are incorporated in the polymer has been determined by mechanical tests, gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The results show that these kind of fillers may be used as blocking agents because they lead to lower degradation.
