Abstract
The preparation of graft films was carried out by direct radiation-ind uced graft polymerization of acrylic acid and vinyl acetate comonomer onto heavy-duty poly(ethylene-vinyl acetate) films. The effect of vari ous comonomer compositions on the degree of grafting was investigated. The characterization and some selected properties of the graft copoly mers prepared were studied. Thermal stability, mechanical and electric al properties of the films showed great promise for some practical app lications.
