The purpose of the present series of publications is two-fold. In
the first place it is intended to review progress in the
development of practical stabilising systems for a wide range of
polymers and applications. A complementary and ultimately more
important objec tive is to accommodate these practical developments
within the framework of antioxidant theory, since there can be
little question that further major advances in the practice of
stabilisation technology will only be possible on the basis of a
firm mechanistic foundation. Research into the role of 'stable'
free radicals as antioxidants and stabilisers for polymers has
intensified in recent years. Nitroxyl radicals (nitroxides) were
the earliest long-lived radicals to be investi gated in detail and
Maslov and Zaikov review the developments that have taken place in
understanding their reaction mechanisms from the time when they
were first investigated in liquid hydrocarbon systems to the
present day when their outstanding performance as light stabilisers
has been the object of much scientific research. Although some
features of their reactivity remain obscure, the authors approach
the problem kinetically and indicate the factors limiting their
effectiveness."
