Oxidation of atactic polypropylene in the presence of 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-phenylphenol

Efficient and novel method for surface oxidation of polypropylene in the solid phase using microwave irradiation

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] The understanding of these oxidation reactions is important, both in the development of stabilizers to protect such oxidative degradation and in the use of selective degradation of low-cost polyolefins for specific applications. The most important properties such as color, tensile strength, and elongation in polyolefins are unaffected by surface-oxidation reactions.…”
