Among the polymeric stabilizers may be listed poly-condensed polymers based on alkyl phenols, aldehydes, and ketones of the aliphatic series, where = 1 - 8 and R,R means alkyl [24], Na, K, Ca phenolates of poly-condensed polymers [25], and also products of epichlor-ide with one or more aliphatic amines C3—C30 [26]. 

Protection of polymers against thermal and photo-oxidative degradation is achieved with appropriate stabilizers that ensure the desirable polymer properties throughout the entire service life of the polymer. Compatible and polymeric stabilizers usually give the best protection. In order to avoid migration and evaporation, polymeric stabilizers are used. 

From various tests performed with polymeric stabilizers and after comparing with the respective monomeric ones, the following trend of effectiveness has been observed [43,44] ...

Steric stabilization is brought about by large organic molecules such as poly(A-vinyl-2-p5Trolidone) (PVP) that are firmly adsorbed on the surface of the nanoparticle [47,57]. Polymeric stabilizers establish many weak bonds with the nanoparticle s surface rather than forming less strong bonds at specific sites of the particles. This mode of stabilization has been shown to be very versatile (see Section 3.6).

The use of a copolymerizable macromonomer constitutes another approach to the dispersion polymerization of MMA. We have recently demonstrated the utility of this approach in C02 by employing a PDMS monomethacrylate as the stabilizer (see Fig. 8) [121], Although several groups have studied the behavior of polysiloxanes in C02 [54,55,57], this work represents the first successful use of PDMS based polymeric stabilizers in C02. The reactions were conducted in either liquid C02 at 30 °C and 75 bar or supercritical C02 at 65 °C and 340 bar.

The cost of treatment using polymeric stabilization/solidification may vary widely depending on the types of processes used, the materials involved, and the physical nature of the waste. Specific cost information may be found in the individual technology summaries. 

This entropic force is important where adsorption of polymers occnrs on colloidal particles. This is due to interaction between polymer chains on the interacting particles As the particles approach each other to the point where the polymer chains of the two particles interact, there is an decrease in entropy due to confinement of the chains, in an analogous manner to the solution species discussed earher, with the same result— repulsion. This is the basis of polymeric stabilization of colloids it is generally undesirable in CD, since adhesion and aggregation are preferred in this case. However, in view of the fact that the presence of such polymers (and other stabilizing adsorbates) may prevent the aggregation needed to build up a CD layer, it is important to be aware of the effect. 

The simplest of the ethers would be ether that has the simplest hydrocarbon backbones attached those backbones are the radicals of the simplest hydrocarbon, methane. Therefore, the simplest of the ethers is dimethyl ether, whose formula is CH3OCH3. Dimethyl is used because there are two methyl radicals, and "di-" is the prefix for two. This compound could also be called methyl methyl ether, or just plain methyl ether, but it is better known as dimethyl ether. It is an easily liquified gas that is extremely flammable, has a relatively low ignition temperature of 66°F, and is used as a solvent, a refrigerant, a propellant for sprays, and a polymerization stabilizer. 

Another way to interpret the above observations would be in terms of the general principle that effective steric stabilization of polymer-coated droplets requires that the continuous phase be a good quality solvent for the polymeric stabilizer. Under poor quality solvent conditions (asi-casein at high ionic strength), the required entropic stabilizing repulsion of the adsorbed protein layer is converted into a destabilizing polymer-mediated attraction (Dickinson and Stainsby, 1982 Dickinson, 2006).

If suitable substituents as sterically hindered piperidine groups are located on the grafted molecules, the synthesis of new polymeric stabilizers can be achieved. Such stabilizers can be expected to have a good efficiency in the protection of the parent polymer, especially in the case of thermal ageing.
