Characterization of a Pearlescent Biaxially Oriented Multilayer Polypropylene Film
The morphology, composition, optical, thermal and mechanical properties of a commercial pearlescent and multilayer biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) films were determined. The structure and orientation of BOPP films were confirmed by FTIR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and EDX analysis. The films surface roughness was determined by AFM method. The tensile strength of the films was determined in machine and transverse directions.
