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 t

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 graft copolymerization was carried out by methyl acrylate with sago starch in which ceric ammonium nitrate was used as an initiator. It has been found that the rates of graft polymerization and grafting efficiency were dependent upon the concentration of ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN), methyl acry
