| Abstract: | A number of triazine derivatives, mostly aryloxy-s-triazines, were prepared, and the effects of these compounds on the thermal oxidative degradation of isotactic polypropylene were examined by conventional oxygen uptake. Almost all triazine derivatives prepared showed a more or less inhibitive effect on the degradation of the polymer. Among them, α- and β-napthyloxy-s-triazines were found to be excellent inhibitors. On the basis of the results obtained, the relationship between inhibitive effect and the structure of the triazine derivatives is discussed. |
