Description of the research topic:
Additives are widely used to achieve the desired properties of polymers. These molecules can be incorporated into the formulation of polymers, and thus, the processability and end-use of the materials can be improved. The first well known example of successful additive application was Charles Goodyear’s discovery, by which he was able to drastically improve the properties of natural rubber by vulcanization (adding sulphur to the material). This moment has been an important milestone not only for the rubber industry but for polymer science as well. Antioxidants (AO) are utilized as additives to prevent thermal- and UV light-induced oxidation of polymers. Bio-based antioxidants will be studied by using experimental and computational tools. The applicability of the bio-based antioxidants will be compared to their synthetic counterparts. The most promising bio-based AOs will be selected, and new, “green” polymer formulations will be developed.
