Conclusion<br />

A steep <strong>in</strong>crease <strong>of</strong> carbonyl, hydroperoxide, hydroxyl, lactone, ester, carboxylic acid and<br />

crystall<strong>in</strong>ity <strong>in</strong>dices and a sudden decrease <strong>of</strong> elongation at break and tensile strength <strong>in</strong>dicate the<br />

occurrence <strong>of</strong> ma<strong>in</strong> cha<strong>in</strong> scissions <strong>in</strong> the materials <strong>in</strong>vestigated. Further, from the above results one<br />

can reasonably conclude that the added prodegradant (ferric stearate) plays an important role <strong>in</strong><br />

<strong>in</strong>itiat<strong>in</strong>g the photodegradation <strong>of</strong> polypropylene dur<strong>in</strong>g weather<strong>in</strong>g. Other weather parameters like<br />

temperature, UV <strong>in</strong>tensity, visible light <strong>in</strong>tensity, etc., are contribute substantially to the<br />

photooxidative degradation <strong>of</strong> the material.<br />
