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 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
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
