Research paper thumbnail of Polyene formation in poly(vinyl chloride) stabilised with pre-heated metal stearates

Polymer Bulletin, Mar 29, 1999

Additionally, the PVC samples are treated with NaBH4 to reduce the carbonylic groups produced during the thermo-oxidative process. Important differences in the polyene formation trends are observed, between the reduced and non-reduced samples, indicating that the carbonyl groups attached to polyenes shift the absorbance maxima and alter considerably the quantification of the double bond conjugations.

However, a number of dyes and pigments may also be photoactive and can, therefore, catalyze or accelerate the photochemical breakdown of the polymer. In this section the photostability of the polymer as influenced by the presence of dyes and pigments will be the main directive rather than the stability of the colourant itself. For further information on the latter subject the reader is directed elsewhere.2 It is important to note that in many applications the presence of dyes and pigments can dramatically influence the chemistry of the degradation, oxidation and stabilization processes involved in a polymer and will quite often dominate the overall practical stability of the end-product.5
