Abstract: The shielding effect of a nanoadditive (CaCO3) against ultraviolet radiation (UVR) in polypropylene fibres was investigated. Unmodified and modified polypropylene (PP) fibres with different contents of the nanoadditive were prepared. It was investigated how the modified polypropylene fibres affect the transmission of UVR. The impact of nanoadditive treatment, the amount of nanoadditive in the fibre, and the fibre preparation was studied from the point of view of barrier properties against UVR. The different parameters which influence the transmission of UVR through fibres were observed. The thermal characteristics were evaluated by DSC measurement. The mechanical properties were also measured.
