Abstract
Number average molecular weight (M-n), intrinsic viscosity ([eta]) and glas s transition temperature (T-g) of low molecular weight atactic polypropylen e (APP) grafted with 4-allyl-1,2-dimethoxybenzene (DMAB), 4-allyl-2-methoxy phenol (eugenol) and 4-propenylanisole (trans-anethole) in the presence of dicumyl peroxide (DCP) at 170 degreesC were determined. The influences of r eaction time, concentration and extent of grafting on M-n, [eta] and T-g of APP were examined. The data were discussed with the mechanism of grafting reactions.
