The antioxidant performance of a sterically hindered bisphenol antioxidant, 4,4'-bis(2,6-di-tert-butylphenol), in model reactions of accelerated aging of carbon-chain polymers (polypropylene, isoprene rubber) was studied. This antioxidant was examined by differential scanning calorimetry and Wallace plasticity measurements in comparison with known commercial phenolic and amine stabilizers. High performance of 4,4'-bis(2,6-di-tertbutylphenol) as antioxidant was revealed.
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.
