LIGHT-STABILIZED POLYMERS COMPRISING LIGHT-STABILIZING MOIETIES, ARTICLES THEREFROM AND A METHOD OF MAKING THE SAME

摘要

Light-stabilized polymers having a high concentration of light-stabilizing moieties covalently bonded along the polymer chain are disclosed. A method o f making light-stabilized polymers having a high concentration of light- stabilizing moieties covalently bonded along the polymer chain is also disclosed. Further, a method of making thermoformable articles is disclosed. The method includes mixing one or more light-stabilized polymers having a hi gh concentration of light-stabilizing moieties covalently bonded along the polymer chain with one or more additional polymeric materials, which are substantially free from light-stabilizing moieties.
