RESUMO

Due to a large demand for adequate utilization of polymeric materials esterilized by gamma rays in medical applications, in this work we studied different formulations based on isotactic polypropylene (iPP) in order to analyse its behavior under radiation. The formulations were based on mixtures of isotactic polypropylene and atactic polypropylene (at-PP), and a radical scavenger (Irganox 1010) at concentration of 0,05 %. The influence of the radical scavenger in the yellowing index of different formulations was studied with a second scavenger (Tinuvin 622) at concentration of 0,1 %. Formulations containing isotactic polypropylene and low density polyethylene were developed with Tinuvin 622, to investigate the effect of radiation on their characteristics, since these two homopolymers have significantly different properties when irradiated at low doses. The effect of radiation on the materials were evaluated through stress-strain curves, infrared spectra, thermal analysis and colorimetric measurements. Simultaneous crosslinking and chain scission occurred Sinergism between at-PP and radical scavenger was observed. Oxidative degradation was observed on irradiated samples submitted to aging after exposure
