Zh. Yin et al., SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF POLYPROPYLENE GRAFTED BY ACRYLAMIDE, Polymer-plastics technology and engineering, 35(6), 1996, pp. 905-915
Polypropylene (PP) was grafted with acrylamide using benzoyl peroxide
(BP) as an initiator by melt mixture. Effects of various parameters su
ch as monomer and initiator concentration, reaction time, and reaction
temperature on degree of grafting were studied. The graft copolymers
were characterized by irradiation (IR), electron spectroscopy for chem
ical analysis (ESCA), wide-angle x-ray diffraction (WAXD), DSC, and co
ntact angle studies.
