Antioxidants are ubiquitous additives for the stabilization of all kinds of man-made materials, as well as being involved in the preservation of natural materials and in the functioning of biological systems. Their chemistry and the physical-chemical aspects of their reactivity will be discussed and will guide their rational classification. Their mechanism of action will be presented alongwith a discussion on the most relevant methods to evaluate their performance. Finally, the chapter provides a compilation of kinetic and thermodymanic data that will help understand their behaviour, their role in biological systems and will guide their potential or practical application.

Abstract
Antioxidants are ubiquitous additives for the stabilization of all kinds of man-made materials, as well as being involved in the preservation of natural materials and in the functioning of biological systems. Their chemistry and the physical-chemical aspects of their reactivity will be discussed and will guide their rational classification. Their mechanism of action will be presented alongwith a discussion on the most relevant methods to evaluate their performance. Finally, the chapter provides a compilation of kinetic and thermodymanic data that will help understand their behaviour, their role in biological systems and will guide their potential or practical application. A list of 222 major bibliographic refereces in the topic area is provided.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
