Abstract
The effect of a hindered piperidine compound and stable nitroxyl radical on the thermal reduction of p-benzoquinone in polypropylene has been examined using ESR, uv-visible and fluorescence spectroscopy. Thermal reduction to hydroquinone was inhibited by both compounds. With the hindered amine the nitroxyl radical was regenerated through the formation of the hydroxylamine whereas, with the nitroxyl radical, there was quantitative conversion to the hydroxylamine and no nitroxyl radical regeneration. Both inhibition processes were found to antagonise the photo-stabilising action of the hindered piperidine compounds due to the regeneration of the quinone.
