Abstract
The surface of glass beads were modified with covalently bonded poly(a crylic acid). The optimum reaction conditions were determined to graft poly(acrylic acid) effectively onto the glass surface. The dependence of the graft polymer molecular weight, grafting percentage and monome r weight conversion based on these reaction conditions were consistent with free radical kinetics. Crafting efficiency for azobisisobutyroni trile was more complex compared with the benzyl peroxide initiator sys tem. (C) 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
