New thermostabilisers for polymers on the basis of a sterically hindered ph
enol and several sterically hindered amines (HA) were synthesised by reacti
on with isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI). Their thermal stability was studied
by means of thermogravimetry (TG), differential thermogravimetry (DTG) and
differential thermal analysis (DTA). Antioxidative properties in polypropy
lene were investigated in oven ageing tests using FTIR spectrometry. The co
mpounds containing both hindered phenol and HA moiety afforded better stabi
lising performance in thermooxidation than two phenol moieties linked throu
gh IPDI. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
