RADIATION GRAFTING OF HYDROPHILIC MONOMERS ONTO ETHYLENE-PROPYLENE RUBBER

摘要

Graft copolymerization of hydrophilic monomers onto thin plates of ethylene-propylene rubber by the direct irradiation method was carried out. Experimental conditions ensuring a surface grafting reaction were ascertained. Slices of the grafted samples were analyzed by ER absorption spectroscopy and the distribution of the grafted chains across the plate thickness was evaluated.
