Abstract
Solid phase hydroperoxidation of isotactic polypropylene followed by grafti ng of various monomers through thermolytic cleavage of peroxide group was c arried out at 70 degrees C. Grafting efficiency was observed to be greater than 90% in most of the cases. Maximum % of grafting was observed (24.5%) i n the case of styrene. Graft copolymers were characterised through SEM, C-1 3-NMR, FTIR and thermal analysis. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
