Abstract
Isotactic polypropylene (IPP) was grafted with glycidylmethacrylate (GMA) u sing benzoylperoxide as free radical initiator in an inert atmosphere and t oluene as solvent at 110 degreesC temperature. Various reaction conditions such as monomer and initiator concentration, time, temperature, medium and atmosphere were optimized for achieving higher % of grafting. Maximum 2.8% grafting was observed. The graft copolymers were characterized by thermal a nd spectral methods.
