Wf. Lee et Cc. Lai, STUDIES ON GRAFT-COPOLYMERIZATION OF GLYCIDYL METHACRYLATE ONTO POLY(VINYL CHLORIDE) AND CURING BEHAVIOR OF ITS GRAFTED COPOLYMER, Journal of applied polymer science, 55(8), 1995, pp. 1197-1208
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.
