ANTIOXIDANTS - Study of polyphenols, 3-pyridinols and
5-pyrimidinols as chain-breaking antioxidants. INHIBITORS OF
POLYMERIZATION. Study of 3-pyridinols and 5-pyrimidinols in the
reaction with carbon centered radicals with regard to their ability
to inhibit free-radical polymerization processes. FREE RADICALS.
Study od persistent radical species such as nitroxides able to
catalyze the oxygen or hydrogen peroxide mediated oxidation of
hydrocarbons. RADICAL PROCESSES IN BIOLOGICAL SYSTEMS. Study of
analytical-diagnostic procedures to identify and quantify oxidative
stress in biological systems or to investigate the radical-transfer
process in synthetic polypeptides.
