Summary
The polymerization behaviour of 3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxy-benzylmethacrylate (I), trans-3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (II), 3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxystyrene (III) and N-(3,5-ditert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzyl)maleimide (IV) was investigated. These monomeric antioxidants were polymerized in aromatic solvents, in the presence of usual radical initiators, by refluxing under nitrogen. An 1H-NMR spectrometry method for the calculation of polymerization conversion was developed. The disappearance of the monomer double bond was followed using dibenzyl ether as an internal standard. The reactivity of these monomers, all showing the same antioxidant functionality, decreased in the order IV>I>III. The acid antioxidant (II) was not capable of polymerization.
