Polymer compositions for making a stabilized polymeric articles that are resistant to discoloration upon exposure to UV-C light having: (i) an organic polymeric material; and (ii) a hindered phenol, organic phosphite, or a combination thereof, with the provisos that: (a) the OH group on the aromatic ring of the hindered phenol is flanked by two tertiary hydrocarbyl groups, and (b) the organic phosphite does not have any —OAr group linked directly to the P atom of the phosphite, wherein Ar represents an unsubstituted or substituted aryl group, are provided herein. Reduced discoloration is associated with the use of specific hindered phenols and the organic phosphites compared to other hindered phenols and organic phosphites, even in the absence of other polymer additives including UV absorbers, hindered amine light stabilizers (HALS), metal oxides and/or barium salts. Methods of reducing discoloration of an organic polymeric material upon exposure to UV-C light are also provided, wherein such methods include the step of adding to the organic polymeric material a stabilizing amount of hindered phenol, organic phosphite, or a combination thereof.

The present invention discloses a film for a medicine packaging and a method of preparing the same. The film for the medicine packaging includes a polymer film layer, a graphene composite layer and a light-curable adhesive, wherein the polymer film layer is bonded with a graphene composite layer by a light-curable adhesive, the graphene composite layer includes multiple graphene layers bonded by the light-curable adhesive; and the light-curable adhesive includes a hyperbranched cationic mussel-imitated polymer including a multi-hydroxylbenzoylbenzamide ene amide monomer, a cationic monomer and a photo-responsive monomer. The present invention provides strong adhesion with reduced adhesive layer, allowing greatly increasing the number of the graphene layers in the graphene composite layer without obvious increase in the total thickness and mass. This can meet the requirements of the medicine packaging material, as it obviously lowers the film's permeation to water vapor and oxygen and significantly enhances the tensile strength.
