A report is presented on the development of a test for determining the long-term oxidation resistance of polyolefin materials, which is accelerated not only by elevated temperatures but also by increased oxygen pressure and a stirred aqueous medium. The method permits durability tests to be carried out at markedly lower temperatures with reasonable testing durations and significantly reduced diffusion limited oxidation effects and allows for physical and chemical impacts of aqueous media. Oxidative durability can be assessed by autoclave immersion exposures at three different temperatures (60, 70 and 80 degrees C) and 50 bar oxygen pressure and at 80 degrees C and two different oxygen pressures (usually 10 and 20 bar). Accelerated test data are evaluated by modified Arrhenius equations with the application of a three-dimensional regression analysis. The application of the test method to various materials, including PP non-woven materials and geosynthetics is demonstrated. 10 refs.
Due to their extreme high hydrogen contents, high molecular weight (HMW-) and ultra-high molecular weight (UHMW-) polyethylene (PE) are a comprehensible choice as neutron radiation shielding material in casks for storage and transport of radioactive materials. But as a direct consequence of inserting radioactive material in such casks, gamma radiation occurs. Hence, the impact of gamma radiation on the molecular structure of polyethylene has to be taken into consideration. Consequently, PE has to withstand any type of gamma radiation induced degradation affecting safety relevant aspects in order to be applicable for long term neutron radiation shielding purposes during the whole storage period (in Germany, for instance, up to 40 years). The scope of our investigation comprises an estimation of the impact of gamma radiation and temperature on the molecular and supra molecular structure of the two types of PE used as neutron radiation shielding cask components. A further point which is worth exploring is to what extent these changes are detectable by conventional analysis methods. Therefore, thermoanalytical measurements were performed such as differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermo mechanical analysis (TMA), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), and thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA). Additionally optical and weighing methods were applied. With those methods it is possible to detect structural changes in polyethylene induced by exposure to gamma radiation. The observed amounts of changes of the irradiated material are not safety relevant for the application of polyethylene as neutron radiation shielding material; moreover, some properties actually improve via irradiation.
