Abstract

There is disclosed a method for grafting C-nitro compounds onto preformed polymers. In the method a hindered C-nitro compound containing at least one polymerizable unsaturated group is reacted with a polymer in the presence of free radicals to thereby graft the C-nitro compound onto the polymer. The process has the advantages of being convenient, economical and applicable to conventional polymer processing steps. In a preferred embodiment, polymer stabilizing additives are prepared by the process in the form of masterbatches of polymer containing high concentrations of C-nitro compounds grafted thereon.
