Zh. Yin et al., PREPARATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF ETHYLENE-PROPYLENE COPOLYMER GRAFTED WITH ACRYLAMIDO TERTIARY BUTYL SULFONIC-ACID, Journal of applied polymer science, 63(10), 1997, pp. 1299-1302
Grafting of acrylamido tertiary butyl sulfonic acid (ATBS) onto ethyle
ne-polypropylene copolymer (EPM) was carried out by using a reactive p
rocessing method. The grafting copolymer was characterized by means of
WAXD, FT-IR, ESCA, and DSC. Improved thermal stability was observed f
or graft copolymer. Effects of the monomer and the initiator concentra
tions, reactive temperature, and time on grafting degree were investig
ated. (C) 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
