Создание биоразлагаемых полимеров – одно из актуальных направлений в решении проблем накопления и переработки полимерных отходов. Разработка эффективных оксодобавок к полиолефиновому сырью рассматривается как один из наиболее перспективных способов обеспечения ускоренной деструкции полимерных отходов в природных условиях. Исследовано влияние наноструктурированных микросфер оксида железа, полученных методом пиролиза ультразвуковых аэрозолей, на ускоренное атмосферное старение полиэтилена. Для модификации полиэтилена были использованы микросферы двух типов: первый тип на основе рентгеноаморфного Fe2O3 (исходные микросферы после синтеза), второй тип на основе кристаллического Fe2O3 (термообработанные). Образцы полиэтилена, модифицированного микросферами, состаривали путем моделирования циклических климатических воздействий (температура, УФ, влажность). После ускоренного старения модифицированного микросферами полиэтилена методом инфракрасной спектроскопии обнаружена более высокая степень окисления поверхности. Показана сильная поверхностная эрозия полиэтилена с добавлением микросфер после старения, при этом необработанный полиэтилен сохранялся практически в неизменном виде. Представленное исследование показало, что модификация полиэтилена микросферами оксида железа после окончания срока службы материалов обеспечивает его ускоренное разложение под действием основных компонентов атмосферного воздействия: света, температуры и влажности. При модификации микросферами комплекс механических и технологических свойств полиэтилена остался на приемлемом уровне, что позволяет использовать разработанный материал для производства упаковочных, сельскохозяйственных и ландшафтных пленок, которые после окончания срока службы будут разлагаться в естественных условиях.

Creation of biodegradable polymers is one of the most prospective trends aimed at solving problems of polymer waste accumulation and processing, and the development of effective oxo-additives for polyolefin raw materials. It is considered to be one of the most promising ways to ensure accelerated degradation of polymer waste in natural conditions. The present research work studies the effect of nanostructured iron oxide microspheres produced with ultrasonic aerosols pyrolysis on accelerated atmospheric aging of polyethylene. Two types of microspheres were used to modify polyethylene microspheres consisting of X-ray amorphous Fe2O3 (initial microspheres after synthesis) and microspheres, consisting of crystalline Fe2O3 (heat-treated). Samples of polyethylene modified with microspheres were aged by simulating cyclic climatic effects (temperature, UV, moisture). After the aging of polyethylene modified with microspheres, a higher degree of surface oxidation was discovered using the method of infrared spectroscopy. A strong surface erosion of polyethylene was observed with the addition of microspheres after aging at the same time, untreated polyethylene was preserved almost unchanged. The present study has shown that modification of polyethylene with iron oxide microspheres beyond the end of materials useful life provides its accelerated decomposition under the influence of the main components of atmospheric impact: light, temperature and humidity. At the same time, the complex of mechanical and technological properties of modified polyethylene remained at the acceptable level, which allows using the developed material for the production of packaging, agricultural and landscape films, which will decompose in natural conditions after the end of their lifetime.
