R. Mani et al., SURFACE-ANCHORED HINDERED-AMINE LIGHT STABILIZERS FOR IMPROVED UV STABILITY OF POLYOLEFINS, Journal of macromolecular science. Pure and applied chemistry, A33(9), 1996, pp. 1217-1226
Hindered-amine light stabilizers (HALS) were surface anchored to polyo
lefin films by reacting the HALS, namely, 1,2,2,6,6-pentamethyl-4-pipe
ridinol and 1,2,2,6,6-pentamethyl-4-aminopiperidine, with succinic anh
ydride functionalized polyolefin surfaces. The photostability of polyo
lefin films with surface-anchored HALS were compared with films stabil
ized with commercial HALS (Tinuvin 770) by melt blending. It is shown
that the photostabilizing efficiency of surface-anchored HALS is super
ior that of melt-blended polyolefins.
