The effect of numerous reprocessing cycles on transport properties of isotactic polypropylene ( i PP) films was studied and related to the change of molecular weight and molecular weight distribution occurring during the recycling. Sorption curves of dichloromethane vapor in different samples of i PP were analyzed at 25°C to investigate the effect of structure modifications on the sorption mode. Moreover, gas permeability measurements were performed to evaluate the influence of reprocessing on the gas transport properties. The results obtained were attributed to modifications in the molecular structure of the polymer, evidenced from gel permeation chromatography (GPC), and to a different morphology of the films, as results from X‐ray diffractograms and dynamic‐mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA).
