Notes:
1-Acryloyl-4-acryloyloxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine (AATP) has been covalently attached to polypropylene under conditions of reactive processing to give substantial concentrations of essentially 100% grafted antioxidant (AATP-B). Solution of the concentrates showed that at high concentration of grafted antioxidant some homopolymerized AATP was present and the polymer undergoes transient cross-linking during processing. Concentrates of bound AATP (AATB-B) when used as conventional additives for polypropylene are very effective photoantioxidants due to conversion to the related polymer-bound nitroxyl radicals by photosensitized oxidation. A typical commercial hindered phenol, Irganox 1076, when used at low concentration in combination with -B also acts as a photosensitizer for nitroxyl formation. Unlike low molar mass-hindered piperidinoxyl, polymer-bound nitroxyls are effective thermal antioxidants that synergize very effectively with low concentrations of Irganox 1076.
