Ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymers with different amounts of vinyl acetate were melt-functionalized with maleic anhydride. The effect of benzoyl peroxide, t-butyl perbenzoate, and dicumyl peroxide (DCP) as free-radical initiators on the functionalization performance was studied. The crosslinkin

โฆ Synopsis
The homopolymerization of maleic anhydride was attempted at 190ยฐC, during the meltfunctionalization of polypropylene, either with or without organic peroxide using a Brabender plastograph. The free radical homopolymerization of pure maleic anhydride was also attempted either with or without organic peroxide, at 190ยฐC, in vacuum-sealed glass vials. In all cases, free low molecular weight maleic anhydride oligomers were observed by low molecular weight size exclusion chromatography (SEC). This maleic anhydride homopolymerization tends to prove that the ceiling temperature of poly(ma1eic anhydride) probably lies above the previously published value of 16OoC for these specific experimental conditions.
