Radiation-induced reactions of syndiotactic polypropylene

  • Published:
Polymer Bulletin Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The radiation-induced reaction of highly syndiotactic polypropylene was examined by following the changes in limiting viscosity, molecular weight distribution, and stereoregularity. The degree of syndiotacticity clearly decreased even when there was no apparent change in molecular weight. Irradiation at an elevated temperature caused a marked decrease in molecular weight and formation of unsaturated residues.
