New UV absorbing microspheres of sizes ranging between 0.2±0.03 and 3.0±0.2μm were formed by dispersion polymerization of the monomer 2-(2′-hydroxy-5′-methacryloxyethylphenyl)-2H-benzotriazole (trade name: NORBLOC) in methyl ethyl ketone as a continuous phase. The effect of various polymerization parameters, such as monomer concentration, initiator type and concentration, stabilizer concentration and crosslinker monomer concentration, on the size and size distribution, and on the polymerization yield of the produced PNORBLOC microspheres has been elucidated. Polyethylene/PNORBLOC resins and films of 150±25μm thickness were prepared by melt blending of low density polyethylene with 2% (w/w) PNORBLOC microspheres of 0.25±0.03μm diameters, followed by a tubular blown process at 170–190°C. The UV irradiation (200–390nm) cut-off efficiency of these films has been demonstrated.
