Abstract

In this study, reactive processing of maleated polypropylene with different types of amine modifiers, including 1,12-diaminododecane, tetraethylenepentamine, p-phenylenediamine, and 1,6-diaminlhexane were carried out. The changes in melt viscosity, molecular weight and its distribution, as well as crystallization were measured and discussed. All the modified samples exhibited increased molecular weight and enhanced branching structure compared to the virgin maleated PP. Aniline modified sample exhibited the highest weight average molar mass., while polyamide-modified maleated PP showed the highest degree of branching. It was also noted that all of the amine-modified samples showed higher crystallization and melting temperatures than that of the unmodified sample.
