RESUMO

The behaviour study of polymeric materials concerning the weathering (heat, uv light, moisture, high-energy radiation, chemical attack and pollutants) is of fundamental importance to assess the stability of the material. The thermoplastics evaluated were the stabilized and not stabilized HMS-PP synthetized by gamma (g) irradiation under acetylene atmosphere. The study of the effects of exposure of the HMS-PP to environmental and accelerated weathering conditions was conducted in several periods of aging. The characterization of degraded samples was established by mechanical testing , infrared spectroscopy FTIR, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and parallel plate rheometry. The HMSPP, obtained from spheres with natural and accelerated under UV aging conditions denotes the defective crystallization in different structures. Under the stove thermooxidative condition instead of chain scission the crystalline phase decreased. The HMS-PP 20 kGy seems to be more stable to the chain reactions in the UV tests. The rheologia indicate that the branching with acetylene are more stable to the UV radiation. In the HMSPP, obtained from pellets, due the efficiency of the additives as oxidized species trap and peroxide radical scavanger, were more promoted the reactions of scissions than of than irregular crystals arrangement and that which lead to an increased of crystallinity either under natural aging as much as thermal or under ultraviolet radiation (UV). The mechanical properties under tensile tests showed that the higher initial rupture stress of the HMS 20 kGy is lost during exposition to different aging processes.
