Abstract

Abstract The permeability variations of carbon dioxide, oxygen, and nitrogen through isotactic polypropylene, heterophasic ethylene-propylene (E-P) copolymers, and polyethylene films were measured during photo-oxidation using polychromatic light at 60°C in air. For polypropylenebased samples the permeability decreases with increasing photooxidation, whereas for polyethylene and an elastomeric fraction from a heterophasic E-P copolymer an increase in permeability with photooxidation is observed.
