  2. Polymer stabilizer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymer_stabilizer

    Light stabilizer are used to inhibit polymer photo-oxidation, which is the combined result of the action of light and oxygen. Like autoxidation this is a free radical process, hence the antioxidants described above are effective inhibiting agents, however additional classes of additives are also beneficial, such as UV absorbers, quenchers of ...

  3. Dispersion polymerization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersion_polymerization

    In polymer science, dispersion polymerization is a heterogeneous polymerization process carried out in the presence of a polymeric stabilizer in the reaction medium. . Dispersion polymerization is a type of precipitation polymerization, meaning the solvent selected as the reaction medium is a good solvent for the monomer and the initiator, but is a non-solvent for the po

  4. Emulsion polymerization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emulsion_polymerization

    In polymer chemistry, emulsion polymerization is a type of radical polymerization that usually starts with an emulsion incorporating water, monomers, and surfactants.The most common type of emulsion polymerization is an oil-in-water emulsion, in which droplets of monomer (the oil) are emulsified (with surfactants) in a continuous phase of water.

  5. Polymerisation inhibitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymerisation_inhibitor

    In polymer chemistry, polymerisation inhibitors (US: polymerization inhibitors) are chemical compounds added to monomers to prevent their self-polymerisation. Unsaturated monomers such as acrylates, vinyl chloride, butadiene and styrene require inhibitors for both processing and safe transport and storage.

  6. Suspension polymerization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suspension_polymerization

    Polymerization in which polymer is formed in monomer, or monomer-solvent droplets in a continuous phase that is a nonsolvent for both the monomer and the formed polymer. Note 1: In suspension polymerization, the initiator is located mainly in the monomer phase. Note 2: Monomer or monomer-solvent droplets in suspension polymerization have

  7. Photo-oxidation of polymers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photo-oxidation_of_polymers

    Dyes and pigments are used in polymer materials to provide colour, however they can also effect the rate of photo-oxidation. Many absorb UV rays and in so doing protect the polymer, however absorption can cause the dyes to enter an excited state where they may attack the polymer or transfer energy to O 2 to form damaging singlet oxygen.

  8. Stabilizer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stabilizer

    Stabilizer (chemistry), a substance added to prevent unwanted change in state of another substance Polymer stabilizers are stabilizers used specifically is plastic or other polymers; Stabilizer (food), a type of food additive; Wood stabilization, a wood preservation process to prevent distortion caused by moisture; Clarification and ...

  9. Stabilizer (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stabilizer_(chemistry)

    In industrial chemistry, a stabilizer or stabiliser is a chemical that is used to prevent degradation. [1] Above all, heat and light stabilizers are added to plastic and rubber materials because they ensure safe processing and protect products against aging and weathering.
