ALPHA-(2,4-DIHYDROXY)PHENYL N-PHENYL NITRONE AND ITS USE IN THE MODIFICATION OF DIENE CONTAINING POLYMERS

摘要

ALPHA-(2,4-DIHYDROXY)PHENYL N-PHENYL NITRONE AND ITS USE IN THE MODIFICATION OF DIENE CONTAINING POLYMERS The present invention relates to a mononitrone of the formula: (I) The amount of alpha-(2,4-dihydroxy)phenyl N-phenyl nitrone which is used in the modification of a diene containing polymer may range from about 0.1 to about 30 percent by weight of said polymer. The modified polymers exhibit improved tear properties as measured by Strebler adhesion values.
