Abstract
This paper describes the first in-depth attempt to characterize thermally induced aging of polypropylene (PP) samples by near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy. Significant levels of variation in NIR bands associated with short (amorphous-dominated) and long (crystalline-dominated) helices was readily captured when PP samples were subjected to thermal aging treatment. Partial least squares (PLS) regression models derived from the NIR spectra indicated significant level of correlation between the actual and predicted elongations of the samples. Analysis of PLS scores and two-dimensional (2D) correlation spectra derived from the aged PP samples revealed inner working mechanism of the regression model. Namely, the aging treatment essentially induces compositional change in crystalline and amorphous structures of the PP samples, which eventually affect the variation of the PLS scores. Thus, by utilizing the scores, it becomes possible to predict the change in the elongation property of the aged PP sample.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
