Abstract
The effect of γ-radiation on the cis-1,4-polyisoprene in the presence of oxygen is investigated by ATR-FTIR technique and non-isothermal DSC measurements. FTIR measurements have shown that the formation of hydroperoxides, ketones, alcohols and/or ethers is apparent already at lower, 20–50 kGy, doses of γ-radiation and it increases significantly with the exposure time. Besides, lactones, anhydrides, peresters, carboxylic acids, and esters are formed, too. Spectral changes in the region of C=C conjugated double bonds indicate a formation of shorter polyene structures and aromatic rings. Kinetic parameters describing the temperature dependence of the induction period have been obtained from DSC measurements using the isoconversional method. Residual stabilities have been calculated in order to characterize the gamma radiation effect on polyisoprene thermooxidative stability. Both methods proved that doses lower than 50 kGy do not cause severe changes in polymer properties.
