Abstract

Three novel phosphate esters have been synthesized and characterized by utilizing several techniques. 1H NMR, 31P NMR and FTIR spectroscopies show all need peaks to confirm the formation of target compounds. The synthesized materials were used as photo-stabilizers of PVC and they show very good results to stop the photo-degradation compare to blank PVC. The photo-stabilizers were used in few amounts about 0.5% by weight and the prepared films were irradiated for 500h by UV light. Different procedures were used to demonstrate the efficiency of phosphate esters as photo-stabilizers such as FTIR method, weight loss, and microscopic images. Compound 3 exhibits the best efficiency as an excellent inhibitor of photo-degradation for PVC films. Optical microscopy study demonstrated that using these additives keep the polymeric film surface smoother with fewer cracks after irradiation by UV light compare to blank polymer.
