Grafting reactions were performed in a Haake torque rheometer, according to a central composite experimental design, where the maleic anhydride and peroxide concentrations, rotor speed, and reaction time were varied. The 27 formulations were analyzed by Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy and

β¦ Synopsis
Isotactic polypropylene was modified by a chemical grafting of maleic anhydride in a molten state. The degree of grafting, ranged from 0.078 -0.368%, was determined by a titration method. Isotactic polypropylene modified by chemical grafting of maleic anhydride was used as an adhesive in bonding the cold-rolled steel sheets for the correlation of its bondability. It was found that the maximum adhesive strength 159 kg/cm 2 was obtained from a degree of grafting 0.217%. A higher degree of grafting was detrimental not only to the initial adhesive strength, but also to the durability aged in a wet environment. Electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis was used to analyze the failure loci, because the joint was separated by shearing.
