Abstract
This paper describes the potential physical and chemical degradation of polypropylene fibers in needlepunched and stitch bonded geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs). Details of the degradation mechanisms of the polymer and their consequences are discussed based on the presently available literature. The influence of material structure, in particular polymeric orientation and ambient environmental conditions on the degradation are evaluated. In addition, the significance of the antioxidant package in the resin is described. The potential depletion mechanisms of antioxidant in actual applications are presented. Finally, various possible test methods, which can be used for monitoring the polymeric degradation of reinforced GCLs are suggested.
