Degradation and stabilization of ethylene-propylene copolymers and their blends: A critical review

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Advances in Polymer Science ((POLYMER,volume 101))

Abstract

Ethylene propylene copolymers and their blends exhibit diverse degradation behavior under the influence of light, heat and radiation. In spite of many papers in this area, little, if any, mechanistic data on degradation and stabilization of this important class of materials is available in the literature. The present paper reviews the published literature in this area organised under five distinct class of materials, namely, thermoplastic, elastomeric, and heterophasic copolymers, thermoplastic elastomer and blends. Of this, elastomeric ethylenepropylene copolymers appears to have been most exhaustively studied. Very few studies have reported on thermoplastic copolymers, both random as well as heterophasic as well as thermoplastic elastomers and blends. Specific mechanisms of degradation and stabilization of each of these classes of materials are discussed.

In general, there is a paucity of information on the relationship between polymer structure and degradation kinetics. This becomes especially critical in multiphase polymers like heterophasic copolymers, thermoplastic elastomers and blends. This review should stimulate research in this important area, which could ultimately lead to polymers with better photo-thermal and radiation resistance as well as more effective stabilizers.
