Abstract
Grafting of maleic anhydride (MA) onto fast-cure ethylene-propylene di ene terpolymer rubber was studied. The effect of the amount of the MA, initiator (dicumyl peroxide), and electron donor (stearamide) on graf t content are described. The potentiometric method and Fourier transfo rm infrared spectroscopy are used to obtained the graft content. The s tearamide suppresses the side reactions, such as crosslinking and chai n scission.
