Abstract
Addition of liquid polydimethylsiloxane to isotactic polypropylene retards its non-inhibited and inhibited oxidation by molecular oxygen. We propose t hat the reasons for this retardation are the migration of mobile free radic als and the reversible transition of antioxidant into inclusions of liquid siloxane in the polymer matrix.
