To prepare a novel photo-degradable polypropylene (PP) with a higher degradation rate, a PP composite containing a poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)/modified TiO2microcapsule was prepared. The modification of the TiO2was performed by the synthesis of octacalcium phosphate intercalated with succinic acid ion (OCPC) under various Ca/P molar ratio conditions. It was found that the synthesis conditions of the Ca/P = 3.5 and 3.6 M ratios were suitable to prepare the OCPC. However, the microscopic composition on the TiO2surface was different between these Ca/P conditions and affected the PP photo-degradation rate in the PP/PEO/modified TiO2composite. It was found from the Fourier Transform Infrared (IR) and the tensile testing measurements that the existence of the OCPC covering material on the TiO2surface brought about the higher PP photo-degradation rate. The facilitation behavior of the degradation was due to the release of the acid species (succinic acid ion) from the OCPC in the degradation process. In addition, the higher coverage of the OCPC on the TiO2surface brought about an induction period for the degradation.
