Abstract: The photooxidative degradation of blend of polypropylene and polystyrene-polybutadiene star block copolymer (PP-SBS) was studied by infrared spectroscopy.The experimental results showed that the rate of photooxidative degradation of PP-SBS is much higher than that of PP.It was also shown that the photooxidative degradation of PP-SBS starts from polybuta-diene component of SBS.

Key words: polypropylene, styrene, butadiene, copolymer, polymer blend, photooxidation
