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
This article deals with the efficiency of using styrene (St) as a comonomer to promote the melt free radical grafting of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) onto an ethylene and propylene rubber (EPR) in a batch mixer and a corotating self-wiping twin screw extruder. The addition of St to an EPR/GMA/peroxid
