Development of Hydrogels Grafted to a Polypropylene Substrate Using a Novel Polyperoxide Macroinitiator

摘要

The peroxidation of the surface is nowadays considered to be one of the most promising methods for the activation of polymer substrates due to the possibility to initiate free radical reactions from the surface [1]. In a present work,a new polyperoxide macroinitiator (surface activator) (PPM) based on a peroxide monomer (PM) N-(tert- butylperoxymethyl)acrylamide has been synthesized and applied for the development of polymeric hydrogels grafted on polypropylene.
