The hindered amine story is an interesting success story involving participation by scientists throughout the world. The success of hindered amines has partly been due to the free exchange of infor­ mation among scientists, so that the accomplishments of one group, studying stable free radicals, could be picked up by those in other groups, in other parts of the world, who were interested in stable free radicals as polymer stabilizers. The mechanisms of stabiliza­ tion by hindered amines were somewhat mysterious in the beginning since these compounds didn't f i t any of the known stabilizer types and known mechanisms. Since stable free radicals had been of inter­ est for their antioxidant activity as trappers of chain-propagating peroxy radicals the triacetoneamine-N-oxyl and derivatives thus were, at f i r s t , of interest as radical-trapping antioxidants. How­ ever, it wasn't long before the light stabilizing activity of that class of materials was recognized and not much longer before practi­ cal versions of hindered amine light stabilizers were synthesized, tested, and introduced for market development. Their high order of effectiveness as light stabilizers encouraged many scientists to investigate the mechanisms by which they functioned. We now know much about those mechanisms and can marvel at the effectiveness of hindered amines which apparently are dependent on what are very small concentrations of N-oxyls for their activity. There is much to learn and admire in the hindered amine story. Chemists can take pride in how effectively they have worked together across national boundaries to make hindered amine stabilizers an important product group for the stabilization of polymers. This introduction is a modest effort to review some of the early history of stable-free radicals including triacetoneamine-N-oxyl. This chapter was intended to serve primarily as an introduction to the hindered amine review which took place at the symposium and inten­ tionally avoids covering material which other participants were expected to present. It is a "light-touch" overview. 0097-6156/ 85/ 0280-0001 $06.00/ 0 © 1985 American Chemical Society In Polymer Stabilization and Degradation; Klemchuk, P.; ACS Symposium Series; American Chemical Society: Washington, DC, 1985.
