Ff. Niyazi et al., PHOTOSTABILIZING THERMOSTABLE DYES FOR POLYCAPROAMIDE AND POLYETHYLENTEREPHTHALATE, International journal of polymeric materials, 19(3-4), 1993, pp. 231-238
Photostabilizing properties of thermostable dyes and bulk-dyed polymer
ic materials are considered. Photostabilizing dyes based on aroylenben
ziwidazol derivatives used in polycaproamide and polyethylenterephthal
ate are discussed. The photostabilizing action of the above dyes is re
lated to their own photostability and is manifested through UV-shieldi
ng, quenching of excited states of the polymer and inhibition of photo
oxidative reactions.
