| Abstract | The destruction of additives in γ-irradiated polypropylene films has been measured by infrared and electron spin resonance spectroscopy immediately after irradiation. Hindered amine or hindered phenol additives containing the ester group [>CH---O---C(=O)---CH₂~] were found to undergo ester destruction. Hindered amines containing the >CH~O---C(=O)---C--- group were not attacked. Phenols showed extensive loss of the phenolic ---OH group, presumably by peroxyl radical attack. Irradiation under conditions where peroxyl radicals were not formed or were scavenged competitively by the presence of a phenol prevented or reduced attack on the reactive ester linkage in hindered amines. It is possible that peroxyl radical attack is occurring at the ---CH₂--- group α to the carbonyl, which is known to be activated towards oxidation. |
