Abstract
1. The authors study the kinetics of formation and decomposition of peroxides in the oxidation of atactic polypropylene in air in the temperature range from 20° to 120°. 2. The effective energy of activation of accumulation of peroxide (24 to 25 kcal/mole) and of decomposition of peroxides (27 kcal/mole) are determined. 3. It is found that the reduction in the molecular weight is a function of the concentration of peroxides in the polymer.Keywords
