Sv. Mamedov et al., Comparison of spectroscopic and dynamical mechanical characteristics of some polymer composites on polypropylene base, POLYM COMP, 20(2), 1999, pp. 216-224
In this study the mutual investigation of the results obtained from the mec
hanical stability properties and the IR spectra of polypropylene-based but
differently doped low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and o-o-di-n-cresylditio
phosphorous (CTPh) acid polymer composites is given. As opposed to the stud
ies of the writers in recent years here, dynamical-mechanical properties ar
e explained not only by the variations in the oxidation peaks but also by t
he optical density in the peaks of the variations in the groups in amorphou
s and crystalline regions. The properties are also explained by the spectra
variations in the IR region, which, according to Mamedov (2), is important
, and by the extreme variations of the polymer properties. IR spectra analy
ses show that for both composites, 1) the optical density of the peaks in t
he crystalline regions for LDPE decreases while for PP those of the peaks i
n the amorphous regions increase; 2) the optical density of the peaks belon
ging to the C=C groups get higher, whereas those of the peaks 1717, 1748 cm
(-1) diminish; and 3) the dynamical-mechanical properties change accordingl
y, and these changed composites have the maximal characteristics, since the
added amount is 0.2-0.3% CTPh by mass and 20-30%LDPE by mass. On the basis
of the paper by Abdullayev et at (3), the mechanism of these processes is
given.
