Popis: A procedure is described for the quantitative analysis of (Irganox 1076, Irganox 1010 and Tinuvin 327) in polypropylene matrices using on-line SFE/SFC. The effects of pressure, extraction time, type of matrix (particle or film) and matrix parameters (particle size, film thickness, sample weight) are studied in order to optimize supercritical fluid extractions. The collection efficiency is determined from the recovery of known concentrations of compounds. About 30% of extracts are lost during collection. Calibration curves for polymer samples are established from ground polymer (particle size 100 μm < d < 160 μm) and polymer film (30 μm thickness) under the optimum supercritical fluid extraction conditions. The three additives are incorporated together into polymer at concentrations ranging from 0.04% to 0.6%. Very poor recoveries are obtained from ground samples, but we observed very good recoveries from films (45-70% depending on the additive) and calibration curves were established for the different antioxidants.
