This article reports the studies of photo-oxidative behaviour of polypropylene/maleic anhydride-grafted polypropylene/organic modified montmorillonite (PP/PPgMA/OMMT) composites prepared by two different melt processing methods. Samples of pristine polypropylene (PP) and PP/PPgMA/OMMT composites were prepared in an internal mixer and in a twin screw extruder. The samples were exposed to long wavelength radiations (λ > 300 nm) for the photo-oxidation. The samples were examined by FTIR, X-ray diffraction and microscopy. Similar to the pristine (PP), it is found that the photo-oxidation process in the composites depends on the melt processing conditions, which could cause the deterioration of organic modifier of the clay and the polymer matrix. The new radicals formed in addition to the iron impurities in the montmorillonite accelerate the photo-oxidation.
