Abstract

AbstractThe diffusion of the radioactively labeled ultraviolet stabilizers 2,4‐dihydroxybenzophenone and 2‐hydroxy‐4‐octoxybenzophenone in two linear poly(ester‐urethanes) was studied over the temperature range 36–75°C. Within this temperature range, both stabilizers diffused faster in the polyurethane which had a polyester of molecular weight 2000 in its chain rather than in the polyurethane with a polyester of molecular weight 1000 in its chain. 2,4‐Dihydroxybenzophenone diffused slightly faster than 2‐hydroxy‐4‐octoxybenzophenone in both polyurethanes. In each case, the results can be represented by an Arrhenius expression D = D0 exp (−E/RT). The values of D0 and E are discussed in terms of the size of the stabilizer molecular and the structure of the polymer.
