Abstract
Solid-phase grafting of 4-vinyl pyridine onto isotactic polypropylene (IPP) resulted in 12.7% grafting at optimized conditions. The chain transfer mec hanism with solvent for termination of the growing chain resulted in a decr eased percentage of grafting with increased concentration of the interfacia l agent. Graft copolymers were characterized by spectral and thermal studie s and were observed to be thermally stable. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
