β¦ Synopsis
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 melt-flow index measurements (MFI). An increase in peroxide concentration caused an increase in the percentage of reacted maleic anhydride and in MFI. The effect of initial maleic anhydride concentration presented different types of behavior, depending on the peroxide level.

The properties of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) and polypropylene (PP) blends and PET/maleic anhydride-grafted PP (MAgPP) reactive blends were investigated. Two blend systems were immiscible based on tan β¦ measured by dynamic mechanical analyzer (DMA). In case of PET/MAgPP blends, the reaction
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
