Efficiency of Chemical Cross-Linking of Polypropylene

Abstract

Abstract The efficiency of the chemical cross-linking of polypropylene was found to be dependent on the peroxide used (dicumyl peroxide, benzoyl peroxide, t-butyl peroxide, and t-butyl peroxy-benzoate). The reason for different cross-linking efficiency of peroxide and enhancement of the cross-linking efficiency of peroxide in the presence of polyfunctional monomer-penta-erythritol tetrallyl ether are discussed.
