Article: Study on grafting maleic anhydride onto polypropylene in microcolloid systems by coirradiation.

INTRODUCTION

The surface modification of polymers is an effective method to produce a wide range of materials with specific properties. Specially, radiation-induced grafting copolymerzation as a well-established technique can combine desirable properties of dissimilar polymers into one new material satisfactorily. Because of its outstanding characters, this technique is widely used. Reactive radical species are first generated in the polymer substrate through electromagnetic or electron irradiation and then the grafting of monomer is carried out in a subsequent step. Control of the induced changes can be achieved through judicious choice of monomer as well as ...
