Ya. Shlyapnikov et al., THE ROLE OF TOPOLOGICAL DISORDER IN THE INHIBITED OXIDATION OF POLYPROPYLENE MELT, Polymer degradation and stability, 46(2), 1994, pp. 247-250
The parameters of the inhibited oxidation of polypropylene in the melt
depend on the conditions of the sample preparation. These parameters
for samples prepared by polymer precipitation from chlorobenzene and f
rom decane are markedly different, although they only differ slightly
in crystallinity and density. The authors believe that these differenc
es are associated with differences in the character of topological dis
order, which is stable even in a polymer melt.
