Abstract

Photodegradable films of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) were prepared by melt blending of the polymer with cadmium selenide (CdSe) and trisilver phosphate (Ag3PO4) as photo-catalysts and manganese stearate as pro-oxidant. The samples were irradiated with visible and ultra-violet light. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and viscometry measurements were used to investigate the microstructure of the films. The results showed that the combination of the photo-catalysts and the pro-oxidants has synergistic effect on the photo-degradation of the LDPE and accelerates a lot more its degradation process than when only the pro-oxidant was used.
