Controlling of Degradation Effects in Radiation Processing of Polymers IAEA-TECDOC-1617 Controlling of Degradation Effects in Radiation Processing of Polymers May 2009 IAEA-TECDOC-1617 Controlling of Degradation Effects in Radiation Processing of Polymers May 2009 The originating Section of this publication in the IAEA was: Industrial Applications in Chemistry Section International Atomic Energy Agency Wagramer Strasse 5 P.O. Box 100 A-1400 Vienna, Austria CONTROLLING OF DEGRADATION EFFECTS IN RADIATION PROCESSING OF POLYMERS IAEA, VIENNA, 2009 ISBN 978–92–0–105109–7 ISSN 1011–4289 © IAEA, 2009 Printed by the IAEA in Austria May 2009 FOREWORD Since the beginning of radiation processing of polymers almost half a century ago, radiation crosslinking technologies have been extensively developed for useful commercial applications. The most well developed examples are the radiation crosslinking of wire insulation, heat shrinkable products for food packaging and electrical connections. The opposite of crosslinking namely, degradation which is used in the sense of chain scissioning here, has not been considered for long as an industrially desirable process and did not find sizeable applications. Controlled radiation degradation of polymers has now become an expanding technology encompassing the cleavage of polymer main chains, side chains or oxidative degradation. Established commercial processes based on the application of radiation degradation are now in place and a number of applications are in various stages of research, development and implementation. Radiation-induced degradation of synthetic polymers is utilized for the preparation of ion track membranes used in filtration and to prepare Teflon powder to be used in inks, lubricants and coatings. Another important application of radiation-induced degradation is in lithographic patterning. By using X rays and accelerated electrons it is possible to manufacture integrated circuits with radiation-patterned sub-micron dimensions. Natural polymers like cellulose (carboxy methyl cellulose) and other marine based polysaccharides (chitin/chitosan, alginates, carrageenans) are predominantly chain-scissioning polymers, and irradiation results in substantial decrease in molecular weight. This is accompanied with the formation of oxidation products and reduction in crystallinity. The degraded polysaccharides thus possess improved properties for applications in manufacturing of health care products, ingredients for cosmetics, plant growth promoters, viscosity modifiers in the food industry, and textile industry. The interest of Member States of the IAEA in introducing radiation technology into the polymer and plastics industry has led the IAEA to organize Coordinated Research Programmes on relevant topics. The first in this series was organized from 1994 to 1997 under the title The Stability and Stabilization of Polymers under Irradiation, with the objective of better understanding the factors affecting the stability of irradiated polymers, the main emphasis being on the enhancement of radiation-induced crosslinking. One of the main conclusions of the CRP was that much remained to be learned in terms of understanding degradation mechanism and phenomena. A consultants meeting on The Controlling of Degradation Effects in Radiation Processing of Polymers, held in 2002, provided an opportunity for extensive discussions by the experts of the subject on the recent developments and achievements of using radiation in controlled degradation of natural and synthetic polymers. The potential and use of ionizing radiation for controlled degradation of polymers have been considered from the points of view of: i) molecular weight modification, ii) bulk properties modification, and iii) surface modification. Following the recommendation of the consultants the IAEA established the CRP entitled Controlling of Degradation Effects in Radiation Processing of Polymers, covering the years 2003- 2006. This technical publication compiles the most important results and achievements of the participating centers and laboratories during the course of the said CRP. It has been prepared to give first a comprehensive summary of the findings highlighting individual contributions and the full texts of scientific reports as prepared by the respective authors of the CRP. The IAEA wishes to thank all the participants for their valuable contributions, and O. Guven for the technical editing of this IAEA-TECDOC.

Sweep-gas experiments at temperatures 340-370 oC allowed pyrolysis products to be collected separately as reactor residue(solidified polystyrene melt), condensed vapor, and uncondensed gas products. Molecular-weight distributions (MWDs) were determined by gel permeation chro- matography that indicated random and chain scission. The mathematical model accounts for the mass transfer of vaporized products from the polymer melt to gas bubbles. The driving force for mass transfer is the interphase differ- ence of MWDs based on equilibrium at the vapor-liquid interface. The activation energy and pre-exponential of chain scission were determined to be 49 kcal/mol and 8.94×1013 s−1, respectively.

  • Pathways for Degradation of Plastic Polymers Floating in the Marine Environment
    Environmental Science Processes & Impacts View Article Online CRITICAL REVIEW View Journal | View Issue Pathways for degradation of plastic polymers floating in the marine environment Cite this: Environ. Sci.: Processes Impacts ,2015,17,1513 Berit Gewert, Merle M. Plassmann and Matthew MacLeod* Each year vast amounts of plastic are produced worldwide. When released to the environment, plastics accumulate, and plastic debris in the world's oceans is of particular environmental concern. More than 60% of all floating debris in the oceans is plastic and amounts are increasing each year. Plastic polymers in the marine environment are exposed to sunlight, oxidants and physical stress, and over time they weather and degrade. The degradation processes and products must be understood to detect and evaluate potential environmental hazards. Some attention has been drawn to additives and persistent organic pollutants that sorb to the plastic surface, but so far the chemicals generated by degradation of the plastic polymers themselves have not been well studied from an environmental perspective. In this paper we review available information about the degradation pathways and chemicals that are formed by degradation of the six plastic types that are most widely used in Europe. We extrapolate that information Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported Licence. to likely pathways and possible degradation products under environmental conditions found on the oceans' surface. The potential degradation pathways and products depend on the polymer type. UV-radiation and oxygen are the most important factors that initiate degradation of polymers with a carbon–carbon backbone, leading to chain scission. Smaller polymer fragments formed by chain scission are more susceptible to biodegradation and therefore abiotic degradation is expected to Received 30th April 2015 precede biodegradation.

  • Bioplastics: Biobased Plastics As Renewable And/Or Biodegradable Alternatives to Petroplastics
    BIOPLASTICS: BIOBASED PLASTICS AS RENEWABLE AND/OR BIODEGRADABLE ALTERNATIVES TO PETROPLASTICS 1. Introduction ‘‘Plastics’’ were introduced approximately 100 years ago, and today are one of the most used and most versatile materials. Yet society is fundamentally ambivalent toward plastics, due to their environmental implications, so interest in bioplastics has sparked. According to the petrochemical market information provider ICIS, ‘‘The emergence of bio-feedstocks and bio-based commodity polymers production, in tandem with increasing oil prices, rising consumer consciousness and improving economics, has ushered in a new and exciting era of bioplastics commercialization. However, factors such as economic viability, product quality and scale of operation will still play important roles in determining a bioplastic’s place on the commer- cialization spectrum’’ (1). The annual production of synthetic polymers (‘‘plastics’’), most of which are derived from petrochemicals, exceeds 300 million tons (2), having replaced traditional materials such as wood, stone, horn, ceramics, glass, leather, steel, concrete, and others. They are multitalented, durable, cost effective, easy to process, impervious to water, and have enabled applications that were not possible before the materials’ availability. Plastics, which consist of polymers and additives, are defined by their set of properties such as hardness, density, thermal insulation, electrical isolation, and primarily their resistance to heat, organic solvents, oxidation, and microorgan- isms. There are hundreds of different plastics; even within one type, various grades exist (eg, low viscosity polypropylene (PP) for injection molding, high viscosity PP for extrusion, and mineral-filled grades). Applications for polymeric materials are virtually endless; they are used as construction and building material, for packaging, appliances, toys, and furniture, in cars, as colloids in paints, and in medical applications, to name but a few.

While most studies have focused on microplastic contamination in the marine ecosystem, microplastic pollution in the soil environment is generally little understood and often overlooked. The presence of microplastics affects the soil ecosystem by disrupting the soil fertility and quality, degrading the food web, and subsequently influencing both food security and human health. This study evaluates the growth and biodegradation potential of the Antarctic soil bacteria Pseudomonas sp. ADL15 and Rhodococcus sp. ADL36 on the polypropylene (PP) microplastics in Bushnell Haas (BH) medium for 40 days.

Reflecting recent changes in the polymer industry, the sustainability of biobased polymers allows them to be used for general and engineering applications. This expansion is driven by the remarkable progress in the processes for refining biomass feedstocks to produce biobased building blocks that allow biobased polymers to have more versatile and adaptable polymer chemical structures and to achieve target properties and functionalities. In this review, biobased polymers are categorized as those that are: (1) upgrades from biodegradable polylactides (PLA), polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), and others; (2) analogous to petroleum-derived polymers such as bio-poly(ethylene terephthalate) (bio-PET); and (3) new biobased polymers such as poly(ethylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate)

A comparative study of nuclear quadrupole resonance frequencies of monochloro acetic acid and its metal salts is carried out. The frequency shifts obtained in the respective metal chloroacetates are used to estimate the changes in the ionicity of C{Cl bond. Further, the changes in the ionicity of C{Cl bond were used to estimate the percentage of intra-molecular charge transfer between respective cation{anion of the metal salts of chloro acetic acid. The nuclear quadrupole resonance frequency is found to decrease with increasing ionicity of the alkali metal ion. PACS numbers: 76.60.Gv 1.

  • Degradation and Recyclability of Poly (Ethylene Terephthalate)
    Chapter 4 Degradation and Recyclability of Poly (Ethylene Terephthalate) S. Venkatachalam, Shilpa G. Nayak, Jayprakash V. Labde, Prashant R. Gharal, Krishna Rao and Anil K. Kelkar Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/48612 1. Introduction The physical and chemical properties of polymers depend on the nature, arrangement of chemical groups of their composition and the magnitude of intra or intermolecular forces i.e primary and secondary valence bonds present in the polymer. Degradation process occurs due to the influence of thermal, chemical, mechanical, radiative and biochemical factors occurring over a period of time resulting in deterioration of mechanical properties and colour of polymers. The degradation occurs due to changes accompanying with the main backbone or side groups of the polymer. Degradation is a chemical process which affects not only the chemical composition of the polymer but also the physical parameters such as colour of the polymer, chain conformation, molecular weight, molecular weight distribution, crystallinity, chain flexibility, cross-linking and branching. The nature of weak links and end groups in the polymers contribute to stability of polymers. The degradation process is initiated at the terminal units with subsequent depolymerization. For example paraformaldehyde with hydroxyl terminal starts to degrade at about 170°C whereas the same polymer with acetyl terminals decomposes at about 200°C [1]. Replacement of carbon main chain with hetero atoms like P, N, B increases the thermal stability e.g. PON polymers containing phosphorus, oxygen, nitrogen and silicon. The exposure of polymeric materials to environmental factors over a period of time will lead to deterioration of physical, chemical, thermal and electrical properties.

However, there remains a need for an advanced biofabrication system to build NGCs with complex architectures, tunable material properties, and customizable geometrical control. Here, a rapid continuous 3D-printing platform was developed to print customizable NGCs with unprecedented resolution, speed, flexibility, and scalability. A variety of NGC designs varying in complexity and size were created including a life-size biomimetic branched human facial NGC. In vivo implantation of NGCs with microchannels into complete sciatic nerve transections of mouse models demonstrated the effective directional guidance of regenerating sciatic nerves via branching into the microchannels and extending toward the distal end of the injury site.

In this work, physical experiments and numerical simulations were both used to study partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM) degradation and its effect on polymer flooding in heterogeneous reservoirs. First, physical experiments were conducted to determine basic physicochemical properties of the polymer, including viscosity and degradation. Notably, a novel polymer dynamic degradation experiment was recommended in the evaluation process. Then, a new mathematical model was proposed and an in-house three-dimensional (3D) two-phase polymer flooding simulator was designed to examine both polymer static and dynamic degradation. The designed simulator was validated by comparison with the simulation results obtained from commercial software and the results from the polymer flooding experiments. This simulator further investigated and validated polymer degradation and its effect.
