Abstract
2-Hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) was graft-copolymerized onto polypr opylene using ultraviolet radiation in the presence of benzoin ethyl e ther as photoinitiator. The parameters of grafting were optimized for getting maximum graft add-on. The thermal properties of the grafted sa mples were investigated using differential thermal analysis, thermogra vimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry. The results h ave been discussed. (C) 1993 John Wiley & Sons, inc.
