Abstract
Polyolefins incorporating hindered phenol groups covalently bound thereto are disclosed. The hindered phenols are covalently bound to the polyolefin through a residue of an alkenyl compound having a carboxylic acid and/or anhydride on the polyolefin. Such polyolefins can be prepared by reacting the following components together under heat: (a) a polyolefin; (b) an alkenyl compound having a carboxylic acid and/or anhydride; and (c) a hindered phenol reagent that can react with the carboxylic acid and/or anhydride of the alkenyl compound; to produce a polyolefin having hindered phenol groups covalently bound thereto. Reactive compounding of such components allows preparation of such polyolefins in a continuous process and in a single reaction step.
