Abstract
Poly(vinyl chloride) was dehydrochlorinated in an alkali solution and then grafted with glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) using benzoyl peroxide a s the free-radical initiator under a nitrogen atmosphere. The efficien cy of grafting GMA under the influence of an alkali, GMA concentration , and duration of the grafting reaction, the viscosity properties, and the curing behavior with diamine were investigated. Maximum grafting to the extent of 46.4% was obtained. The optimum curing reaction condi tions were investigated. (C) 1995 John Wiley and Sons, Inc.
