Abstract:The thermal, tensile and other properties of high density polyethylene films containing iron (III) acetylacetonate as pro-oxidant additive have been studied after exposure to UV irradiation for up to 300 h. The effect of photooxidation on polyethylene films with and without pro-oxidant was estimated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, Differential scanning calorimeter measurements and the tensile properties. It was observed that UV irradiation had almost no effect on the mel… Show more
