A polymeric hindered amine light stabilizer (HALS), where HALS moiety was attached at the terminal end of the polypropylene chain via end‐functionalized vinylidine PP through simple organic reactions, was synthesized. It comprises the synthesis of vinylidine‐terminated polypropylene by using Cp 2 ZrCl 2 /MAO as catalyst system and epoxidation of vinylidene polypropylene. The final product was synthesized by carrying out the reaction between epoxy end functionalized polypropylene and 4‐amino‐2,2,6,6‐tetrametyl piperidine. The final product was characterized by using 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR, and FT‐IR spectra. Functionality was calculated by using vapor phase osmometry and 1 H NMR. The solubility and diffusion coefficient of the product were calculated and also its stabilization performance was checked. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 104: 1596–1602, 2007
