The antioxidative activity of the title stabilizers has been studied by the initiated oxidation of cumene as a model reaction. The new model compounds prepared from vernonia oil and the conventional phenolic antioxidant 3‐(3,5‐di‐tert‐butyl‐4‐hydroxyphenyl)propionic acid (DTBH) and, copolymerized with styrene, showed that the rate constant of inhibition, k7, weakly depends on the size and the nature of the radical, R∗︁, whose magnitude was found to be k7 = 107.0±0.5 exp(4 200 ± 700)/RT L/mol·s. The antioxidative activities of the new compounds compare favorably with the commercial product used in technology. These phenolated vernonia oil derivatives were incorporated chemically to polystyrene and polyurethanes, forming polymeric antioxidants useful for master batches for the named polymeric materials.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
