Ac. Patel et al., GRAFTING OF 2-HEMA ON IPP AND IN-SITU CHLORINATED PP THROUGH SOLUTIONPOLYMERIZATION, Journal of applied polymer science, 69(11), 1998, pp. 2107-2113
Grafting of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (2-HEMA) on isotactic polyprop
ylene (IPP) and in situ chlorinated polypropylene (CPP) by free radica
l process was carried out at 110 degrees C using toluene as solvent. V
arious conditions for grafting were optimized. The maximum percent of
grafting of S-HEMA achieved on IPP was 3.6%, whereas that on in situ C
PP was 8.7%. The products were characterized by Fourier transform infr
ared spectroscopy and thermal and contact angle measurements. (C) 1998
