摘要

A new additive, Cobalt (Co)12-hydroxyl oleate, was successfully synthesized and its performance on the photodegradability of polypropylene (PP) film was evaluated by observing the disparity in the structural characteristics, surface morphology, mechanical, flow rate, molecular weight measurement, thermal gravimetric analysis, and differential scanning colorimetry upon degradation. PP films blended with different compositions (1, 2, and 3 wt %) of Co 12 hydroxyl oleate were prepared by melt blending. The photodegraded film was subjected to biodegradation in the presence of the microbes such as asspergillusniger and pencilliumfunculosum isolated from a dump.
