✦ Synopsis

The graft copolymerization of styrene onto low density polyethylene (LDPE) with dicumyl peroxide as an initiator was studied. The existence of the graft copolymer was verified by infrared spectra. The effects of the initiator concentration, the feed composition, the reaction time, and the reaction temperature were discussed. Grafting efficiency reached a maximum value with the increase of reaction time. The effect of increasing the concentration of dicumyl peroxide was to decrease the grafting efficiency up to a minimum value. Grafting efficiency was not affected much by the variation of the reaction temperature. Grafting efficiency decreased largely with the increase of the feed composition of styrene. The compatibilizing effect of the copolymer prepared in this study was demonstrated by the morphology and mechanical properties of high impact polystyrene/LDPE blends.

Glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) is a very useful monomer as it bears an epoxy group which is capable of reacting with various other functional groups. However, its melt free radical grafting reactivity onto a polymer backbone is low. In this study, we show that the use of styrene (St) as a comonomer gre

The free radical grafting reactivity of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) onto polypropylene (PP) in the molten state is low. This article shows that adding styrene as a second monomer (or comonomer) increases both the rate and yield of GMA grafting and reduces PP chain scission. The proposed mechanism is

## Abstract Our main objective of this study was to study the parameters affecting the free‐radical melt grafting of maleic anhydride (MA) onto linear low‐density polyethylene (LLDPE) with dicumyl peroxide (DCP) in an internal mixer. The degree of grafting (DG) was measured with titrometry and Four
